"We are very proud to officially announce that Grand Theft Auto V is in full development.

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos and surrounding hills, countryside and beaches in the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created. A bold new direction in open-world freedom, storytelling, mission-based gameplay and online multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto V focuses on the pursuit of the almighty dollar in a re-imagined, present day Southern California."

GameInformer: You just released the GTA V trailer. Can you talk about that project in any respect? Obviously, it looks like its going back to San Andreas.
Dan Houser: I've got to be real careful here, or they will drag me through the office and whip me with barbwire. I will stick to exactly what's in the press release. It's Los Santos and the surrounding country side - and a very big map.

Official post on when we will get new info! - 14th of February 2012

"“When will we know more about #GTAV” - Fash08 (via Twitter)
“When’s the release date for GTA5” - Akiieran (via Twitter)
“Can we expect a 2nd trailer this year for GTAV?” - mats hoi
“Any more news about GTAV on the way, I can’t wait!!!!” - mattoneill1991 (via Twitter)

First of all, we’d like to again thank you and everyone out there for the amazing response to the debut Grand Theft Auto V trailer. We know that there are a ton of questions you all have about the game, including release date and lots else.
Right now, we are very hard at work on the game and are excited as well to show and tell you more as development progresses - expect that we'll be talking much more about GTAV starting at some point in a few months’ time.
Please hang tight until then and thank you all for your patience and support!


“Rockstar, I really can't wait for new information about the new GTA. And is it only in Los Santos or too in SF and LV?” - MatsvanStam

As we revealed in our announcement about the game being officially in full development, Grand Theft Auto V is set in the city of Los Santos and its surrounding hills, countryside and beaches – and it will be the largest and most ambitious open world game we’ve ever created…"

Apparently Rockstar North are offering jobs up for game testers. Many people think its for Max Payne 3, however R* North are not developing that particular game. Developers for Max Payne 3 being the following, Rockstar Vancouver, Rockstar New England, Rockstar London, Rockstar Toronto. Dan Houser is still involved for obvious reasons..

Very interesting landmark thread on GTAForums.com, helping us all to map out a few things about the city.

damn i'm excited

It would also seem like the voice actor in the first trailer is Ned Luke.

I wonder when they are going to give a release date. Not that it may matter if they decide to delay the game to iron out the kinks.

Probably a little later this year if they continue with a similar pattern that they did with GTA IV.

Ill keep the official news to the main post (If the forums will let me edit it later on down the line), and put anything that has not originated from Rockstar themselves as a separate new post.

BTW: Thread update

More news, check the first post.
