GTA 5 Online Heists rumors are flying thick and fast. The latest talk is a new character hitherto unknown in the series, and the possibility of catastrophes during missions.

Rockstar, GTA's makers, is yet to inform fans about the release date of Online Heists though February 24 is doing the rounds. While the gaming community eagerly waits, ardent fans are doing all they can to get at information. Such pursuits have now revealed a new character called Rashkovsky. YouTuber TwoDyanmic learnt about the character from the official trailer. The character is shown on a plan that the Heist team goes over. The plan instructs players to get to Rashkovsky in the prison, IB Times reports.

Another YouTuber DomisLive has claimed to have gleaned additional information from leaked source codes. The leak points to an exciting mission that would take place in North Yankton area, a location which was not revealed earlier. Source code leaks also point to tsunamis and avalanches during game play.

The leaks are testimonials to the high resolution graphics the game incorporates. Rendering avalanches and tsunamis could perhaps indicate it would be restricted to PS4 and Xbox One. DomisLive also found another source code leak that details rendering of a burning building, which according to Latin Times is another indication that the game maker is going all out to impress with graphics.

GTA Online Heists is expected to be released before the GTA 5 for PC which is slated for released on March 24.
