Welcome to Carcer City.

Once a proud industrial powerhouse, now a decaying monument to corruption, violence, and broken promises.

Grand Theft Auto: Carcer City is an ambitious total conversion mod for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that is a part of “Project Eagle”, Now what is Project Eagle? Project Eagle is a massive, lore-rich total conversion mod for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that unites the entire United States into one seamless, fully explorable GTA world. From the streets of Liberty City to the neon coastlines of Vice City, across the Midwest, the Deep South, and the West Coast, Project Eagle delivers the ultimate American open-world experience built entirely within the classic 3D-era framework.

Developed as the official continuation of the abandoned S&S Mod (Grand Theft Auto: Stars & Stripes), Project Eagle doesn’t just stitch maps together it reimagines how a nationwide GTA world should function. Canon cities from across Rockstar’s universe coexist with over ten brand-new original cities, each inspired by real U.S. locations and fully integrated with unique culture, traffic, law enforcement, gangs, and atmosphere.

This is not a collection of disconnected maps.

Now… Welcome Back to Carcer City

Grand Theft Auto: Carcer City (Standalone) completely replaces the San Andreas map, tone, and atmosphere with a brand-new city inspired by America’s Rust Belt. Drawing heavy influence from Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and the brutal environments of Manhunt, Carcer City is oppressive, lived-in, and relentlessly hostile.

Set in 2001, the city is dying. Factories rot along polluted waterfronts. Neighborhoods collapse under gang control. Corruption bleeds from city hall into every alleyway. Neon-lit bars and failing businesses cling to survival in a place that seems determined to destroy anyone who stays too long.

Players step into the role of Liam O’Mulligan, a former Carcer City Police Department detective unfairly expelled nearly a decade earlier. Now surviving on morally questionable work from old contacts, Liam is dragged back into the city’s criminal underworld when one job goes catastrophically wrong. What follows is a descent into conspiracies, power struggles, and violence involving street gangs, organized crime, and powerful figures who rule the city from behind closed doors.

Carcer City Features:

A fully original Rust Belt–inspired map

Locations influenced by Manhunt’s most infamous environments

A dark, grounded narrative with mature themes

A decaying urban atmosphere where survival is never guaranteed

The project is currently in early development, with major mapping underway and continued work on story, gameplay systems, and features. Two gameplay videos featuring roughly 30 minutes of footage have already been released, offering the first real look at Carcer City in action.

A demo release is planned for March 9th, giving players an early chance to experience the city before full development is complete.

This isn’t a nostalgia mod.

This isn’t San Andreas with a reskin.

This is Carcer City and it doesn’t care if you survive it.
