Following weeks of hints and rumours, the news that every Grand Theft Auto fan has been waiting for has finally come to light, with Rockstar North coming clean with this--the next Grand Theft Auto game, which will be titled 'Grand Theft Auto V', has been confirmed by Rockstar themselves!
In an email sent from Rockstar North (a screenshot of the email has not been posted for privacy reasons), they answered several questions that we have all been asking, such as where GTA V will be set, the date that it will be released and most importantly, if the game is actually in development.
The game will be set in Los Angeles (Los Santos), Rockstar have stated that the new Los Santos "will be redesigned as Liberty City was with GTA IV, will include surrounding countryside and will feature a playable map size comparable to that of Red Dead Redemption."
We can also confirm that many new and returning features will be included in GTA V, among them being player customisation, gang wars with included business takeovers and gambling. The new features and improvements, among others; include improved gang/pedestrian AI, the ability to customise safehouses and a more realistic, destructible environment. While specifics of features have not been posted, Rockstar did state that "with the new improvements and returning features, we aim to have GTA V feature realistic but at the same time; fun, satisfying gameplay ... We really want to bring the GTA series back to where it once was while still moving forward and improving upon the GTA IV formula." Good news for both those who like things realistic, and those who like things fun.
Grand Theft Auto V has been confirmed for a third-quarter 2012 release. We will keep you posted as screenshots and previews are available.
