With the release of the debut trailer for Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto V, the studio has made a formal announcement proclaiming the next title in the series to be in “full development.”
Grand Theft Auto V is currently in the works at Edinburgh-based Rockstar North and will be set in the city of Los Santos and the “surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created.”
Rockstar calls Grand Theft Auto V a “bold new direction for open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer,” and in the game, players will focus on the pursuit of “the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California.”
Rockstar head Sam Houser said of the game:
“Grand Theft Auto V is another radical reinvention of the Grand Theft Auto universe. We are incredibly excited to share our new vision with our fans.”

interesting. the Sandbox is just getting bigger and bigger. Would like to see more details about this game, maybe just maybe it will spark an interest in me.
I know it's just an empty promise until the game is actually released, but the words "bold new direction" and "radical reinvention" have me excited already!
Need more details, stat!
too much sex content and bad language chased me away from GTA4. i like fun game :)
I am so excited! I read somewhere the game is coming out in May 2012. I think this is the official GTA V fan site http://gtav.com by Rockstar. They have new screenshots of the game posted!! i cant wait until it comes out! I wonder if there will be more than one playable character based on the screenshot. The main character is a wealthy white male, but then in one screenshot it shows the police chasing a black guy in the alley.
@ fletbed - Couldn't agree with you more. I played the game for like ten minutes and was hit with more f-bombs and sexual inuendo than I could count. I'm sure it's a great game but neither me nor my kids need to be exposed to that garbage.
