Will Grand Theft Auto V be released this year?

Not even two days into the new year and already there is speculation going around in terms of the possibility of the next Grand Theft Auto game. Gamers and video game journalists alike are asking the simple yet the unanswerable question: "Will "Grand Theft Auto V" be released this year?"

Let's think back to around early-mid 2007 when Grand Theft Auto IV was announced to a more-then-eager public with it's first trailer being released to the fans. That was around three years after the release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. If Rockstar North have hypothetically been working on the next Grand Theft Auto game since Grand Theft Auto IV's release, then it has spent nearly three years in development and production and the next Grand Theft Auto game's announcement would be made on a similar time-frame to the duration between the release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and the unveiling of the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV if it where to be made some time this year.

While the chances are very slim that we will be playing the next Grand Theft Auto game any time this year, the chances are very high that we will see something in the way of official information, perhaps even an official trailer, for the next Grand Theft Auto game sometime this year. Rockstar Games are currently working on promoting their upcoming 50's detective game L.A. Noire which is set for release sometime between the start of March and the end of May, Rockstar North are currently working on another crime-detective epic exclusive to the Playstation 3, Agent. When L.A. Noire's release is out of the way, granted if nothing else pops up (Agent taking L.A. Noire's place on Rockstar Games' agenda), leaves room for an announcement and the promotion of the next Grand Theft Auto game from June-onward.

Keep an eye out on this website over the next few months, if there is an official announcement for the next Grand Theft Auto, you will hear about it here!

Discuss!

I hope it's released this year. I would really like a new GTA game to play.

I dunno, with Agent, LA Noire, RDR, and Max Payne 3, it seems like Rockstar has been busy as of the late, but idk not like the same group of people is making all of those, still I don't think we'll see GTAV till 2012. I could be wrong though.

Maybe close to the end of the year. But most likely in 2012.

It could very well come on a next gen console.

don't hold your breath for 2011, it won't come til 2012 since they got LA Noire and Max Payne 3 on the plate for this year...

I think 2011 might be a bit too eccentric. 2012 however, thats soundingmuch more plausible.

I'm not even bothered. Probably one of the only people here who dislikes the GTA franchise. 1zenron1

you're not alone i feel the same way as you.

Rockstar North hasn't/Isn't making any of those games. The only game they are confirmed to be making is Agent, but even that we have no info on. So they very well could be working on GTA V right now.

Not worth thinking about IMO.

Once the hype train starts you'll still have another two years to wait..............

OP, I hope you've beaten Red Dead: redemption before asking for more GTA...
