Rockstar Games has finally, officially announced Grand Theft Auto V. So far, there are no confirmations on the details of the game or its release date, but we do know that in less than seven days a trailer will be released. Hopefully, it will answer all our questions. To keep track of exactly how much time remains before the world gets its first look at Grand Theft Auto 5 in action, a handy countdown clock has been added to the game’s website.
The Grand Theft Auto 5 announcement was made public just yesterday, and speculation as to where the game will take place is well under way. Many fingers point to Los Angeles as the games’ destination for mischief and mayhem, but nothing can be confirmed yet.
The highly controversial franchise has not seen a new title released since Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony in late 2009. Grand Theft Auto 4 was released all the way back in 2008. This franchise is long overdue for a fresh game, and only time will tell whether or not Rockstar Games will deliver the goods.
What can gamers expect from the forthcoming trailer? Grand Theft Auto V casting calls have been investigated, and though the descriptions given are rather vague, perhaps one or more of those characters will make an appearance. In any case, we’ll just have to wait until the countdown clock, available on the Rockstar Games’ website, hits zero. The clock itself really doesn’t hint at anything about the game, though it does list a Twitter trend with #GTAV, so join the conversation.
Post L.A. Noire, do you think Rockstar will return to the City of Angels, or will they branch out to a different setting for GTA V? What should change from previous GTA titles and other Rockstar games? What kind of character and atmosphere should set the tone for this new title?
No release date has been set for Grand Theft Auto V. The debut trailer goes live a week from today, Wednesday, November 2, 2011.

How about try to compete with Volition and Saints Row 3 instead of being complete garbage like how GTA4 was compared to Saints 2. Seems that even though GTA sells more, Saints still is better. One of the few things GTA still does is have competitive multiplayer (a big fall point compared to including co-op as well) Saints 3 dropped competitive MP so they can focus more on Campaign and Co-Op… Something that Rockstar should and could of considered.
Grand Theft Auto is the game franchise all other games are compared to for good reason. Very happy to see this news. Hoping for another game set in Vice City.
No matter where they make the setting we all know it is going to be brilliant. Bring back everybody. Fido, Tommy Vercetti and Carl Johnson. Carl was the most badass of the lot.
base jumping please! I literally spent hours just doing that. I just found it so compelling.
the reason we all enjoyed san andreas and saints row 2 was because it was fun. gta 4 was too serious and i didnt enjoy it.
It’s about damn time they put Grand Theft Auto in Milwaukee, if you ask me!
Boise.
No seriously though; New Orleans or Chicago would be awesome in my opinion.
I personally loved the gritty feel of GTA IV.
Saints Row was fun but it was like an overly colorful Wii version of
Grand Theft Auto.
CJ used to be my favorite of the series but after GTA IV I have to say I am now a much bigger fan of Niko Belliv

I still play San Andreas. Ride around the city like Cain for a mustang on daytons
thank you for your introduction! i want to try Grand Theft Auto V.
