Grand Theft Auto V Is Coming Spring 2013

Posted on October 30 2012, 12:12pm | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

Today, we're proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto V is expected to launch worldwide spring 2013 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V takes place in a re-imagined, present-day Southern California in the largest and most thriving game-world we have ever created set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and for miles beyond – from the tops of the mountains to the depths of the ocean.

Starting next week November 5, 2012, Grand Theft Auto V will become available for pre-order everywhere and fans can expect a host of new information to become available in November.

Look for downloadable desktop versions of the brand new artwork above coming very soon.

Update: Pre-orders start everywhere November 5 and select retailers will be offering a double sided poster while supplies last.

              Hey ROCKSTAR, I'm a big fan of GTA and I love the sportbikes. I really think it would be cool to have alot of crotchrockets in GTA 5...or even multiple groups to join. That's what I love about Cali, there are bikes everywhere! :)

                    this is good news for me. there are waay to many games coming out this spring, its probably best for rockstar to hold it back until sept when there are not very many games due for release in comparison to this next couple of months
                    gives me plenty of more time to play the other games i have and are going to be buying in the mean time.

                      I'm very pleased about the delay. Have so much work to get done between now and then...

                        I am seriously beginning to loathe you, even after all the years of dedication. I am NOT the only "oldschool" fan that feels this way.

                        Do you have any idea how unbelievably disrespectful it is to your fans to leave this up after posting your new release date bulls**t? Really? How many times will you spit in our face until you reach satisfaction?

                        It seems to me that you have forgotten one VERY important thing--WE are the ones who pay YOU. WE are the reason YOU exist and continue to stand above ground. Without US, YOU have no legs, no breath, nothing!

                        Take a moment, have a meeting, and GET YOUR s**t TOGETHER!

                          lol, R* you mine as well delete this crap.
                          It was false hope. I remember when this popped up at lunch and I was so excited. But now it's just another delayed game from you all.
                          Such a nice release date it was as well. May 21st was most likely the release date, right next to summer and two weeks before my last day of school. Now you've gone and delayed it right into a s**tty school year, in September.
                          How disappointing. How really disappointing. I would be less mad if you all would have placed it in late October, that's a much better time to release than in some s**tty school year. Also Thanksgiving Break would be nearing.
                          Hell you all might delay again and it might come out October knowing you all.

                          "Today, We have an official release date to share with you: Grand Theft Auto V will arrive in stores on September 17, 2013"

                          "The date is much later than the spring date the firm had been aiming for, but promises the wait will be worth it."

                          ....OMG! THE WAIT! :(

                              Ah, good old days :(

                              See you in September.

                                  Imagine Super Bowl! During a commercial break! 3rd Trailer + release date announcement! hahaha just dreaming.
                                  I love Rockstar Games, but this unbearable anticipation for GTA V makes me go nuts!
