TechRadar.com - Rockstar Games and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, on Tuesday finally dropped the news that everyone has been waiting for: Grand Theft Auto V is coming in the spring of 2013 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game will be available for pre-order starting Nov. 5.
Developed by Rockstar North, GTA V is guaranteed to be one of the biggest games of 2013, which may explain why Rockstar doesn't need to worry about releasing it during the fall, when most blockbusters hit game store shelves.
Grand Theft Auto V was announced over a year ago, and it was revealed in the interim that, like 2004's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, GTA V would be set in the game's fictional version of Los Angeles, dubbed "Los Santos." Sam Houser, Rockstar Game Founder said in the announcement "Grand Theft Auto V builds on everything we've learned about open world game design and we can't wait to share it with fans."
But there's been little concrete news about the game since then, leaving the gaming world free to speculate about its story, setting and characters. [IS]
