Grand Theft Auto 5 release date leaked?

Grand Theft Auto is one of those games that nearly all gamers around the world just cannot get enough of, with its revolutionary open world gameplay, great comedy satire and awesome action who couldn’t fall in love with it! The only problem is always the gap between each release, that barren wasteland between when we’ve found every secret hidden in the world and the next installment.

The next instalment now being grand theft auto 5, which was given a debut trailer some time ago, left us all gasping to know more! yet since the announcement trailer, in typical fashion, Rockstar went silent not uttering a peep about their next, no doubt, smash hit.

That is until now….maybe.

Now I’m not normally one to rely heavily on rumours, especially when it comes to release dates, mainly because there are a lot of internet trolls out there willing to make up lies simply to create a fuss and game stores like to predict dates in order to start their preparation for sales, leaving us with nothing substantial.

However on some occasions rumours do happen to come from at least some amount of truth. on this occasion the supposed release date was tweeted by @XboxSupport claiming

“The next title, Grand Theft Auto 5 will appear later this year”

Combine this with the fact that both Zavvi and Amazon had at one stage listed the release date around holiday season 2012 (US retailer mirrored this as did Blockbuster) then it’s possible that the signs are pointing, quite clearly, to an imminent release!

So there you have it, E3 could quite possibly hold a few more secrets than we thought! Heres hoping!

About Ben Rayner

If he's not saving the world from zombie hordes (yes he works in retail) Ben can found playing almost any game he can get his hands on! Hitman and Max Payne are his games of choice but don't let that fool you, he can hold his own in a game of C.O.D! He also likes Tea, Whiskey and short walks home...to his Xbox! Say Hi! I love to talk!

    Rockstar don't even have a booth at E3 so it won't be announced then will it. I'd put money on an April/may 2013 release, look at red dead, GTA 4, max Payne, all released around that time, seems obvious really

      Just because Rockstar doesnt have a booth at E3 doesnt mean that GTAV's release date wont be announced – it could easily be included in Sony/Microsoft's press briefing!

    Nothing has been announced at the E3 – do you have any new infos about the release date for the Xbox Version of GTA 5?
