Grand Theft Auto V world map leaked

The map for Rockstar Games' upcoming open-world game Grand Theft Auto V has been revealed. According to Forbes, the leak came from a "prematurely released copy of Brady Games' strategy guide." The game is set in fictional city Los Santos, which is modeled after Los Angeles.

The map gives an indication of the full size and scale of Los Santos, which reportedly sports a larger gameworld than Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto IV combined.

GTAV's three playable protagonists are Trevor, Michael, and Franklin. Players will also be able to access the online component, GTA Online, when it launches on October 1 as a free update to the game.

According to Rockstar Games, real-life gang members were brought on to contribute authentic voice-overs to the game. GTAV will also feature more than 240 licensed songs.

GTAV will be released on September 17 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
