Grand Theft Auto 5

Rockstar Games still not have given anxious gamers and fans and bloggers (like myself), a official release date or even a release window. Until just recently, Rockstar invited a select few to be shown a demo of Grand Theft Auto 5, and possibly some more information about the game and also possibly the release date or when Rockstar will give some more information to the public.

In this post I’m going to talk about what i believe when Rockstar will official release Grand Theft Auto to gamers everywhere. First off i took a look at the past few Rockstar Titles, like Red Dead Redemption, L.A Noire and the recent Max Payne 3. That is 3 three games that have come out by Rockstar Games that are major, full games from the developer. Some other things to consider is that the games that i mentioned, were all released in May of the year they were released, Red Dead Redemption (May 18th 2010), L.A. Noire (May 17th 2011) and Max Payne 3 (May 15th 2012). 

So if Rockstar continues this trend there is a possbility that Grand Theft Auto 5 will be released in May 2013. There have also been reports that GTA 5 will be released in March 2013 because Take-Two Interactive (Rockstar Games’ Parent Company) has there fiscal year ending at the end of March 2013. So then that could place the release date of Grand Theft Auto 5 from end of March 2013 to middle of  May 2013.

That is all i wanted to talk about in this post and below i will place some links to some interesting articles about GTA 5 and when new information will be announced by Rockstar. Also will include a link to a website with all the official screenshots released by Rockstar.

UPDATE: Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 5 will be released in Spring 2013, which coincides with my predictions that I have stated in this article.

UPDATE 2 (1.31.2013): Read this article for mor info on the official release date. http://thecanadiantechie.blogspot.com/2013/01/grand-theft-auto-v-official-release-date.html
