[UPDATE] Rockstar has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto V will be released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in spring 2013, with pre-orders for the game beginning on November 5 this year. Click here for the full story.
A tweet from a branch of UK retailer GAME has all but confirmed GTA V’s rumoured Spring 2013 release date. The tweet–which was originally discovered by IGN and has since been removed–showed promotional artwork from the game, all of which was plastered with “Pre-Order Now Spring 2013”. GAME’s website lists the sequel’s release date as TBC 2013.
The tweet follows rumours from a Polish GTA fan site GTA-Five.pl, which posted pictures of promotional posters for the game yesterday. Those posters also showed a Spring 2013 release date. Last week, Rockstar released the official artwork for the game, and promised that more details would be released in November.
GTA V was announced last October. Some analysts expect it to be on store shelves by March 2013, while others are predicting a longer wait. For more on GTA V, check out GameSpot’s previous coverage.
