The new gta V

Grand Theft Auto V (commonly abbreviated as GTA V) is an upcoming action-adventure open world video game being developed by games developer Rockstar North in the United Kingdom and published by Rockstar Games. The game will be the first major title in the Grand Theft Auto series since Grand Theft Auto IV (2008), which started the fourth "era" in the series, and the fifteenth game overall. The game is to be set in fictional Los Santos in the state of San Andreas and its surrounding areas, based on modern-day Los Angeles and Southern California. A rendition of Los Santos was previously featured as one of three cities in 2004's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, from the series' third era. The debut trailer for Grand Theft Auto V was unveiled on 2 November 2011.

In August 2011, Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia predicted first-year sales of GTA V to be as high as 25 million. The same month, analyst Michael Pachter said that the game should sell at least 18 million units and, given historical attach rates for the franchise, that GTA V sales could be as high as 24 million. In October 2011, HMV's head of games Tim Ellis said the announcement of GTA V will bring a new boost to the market. Ellis told MCV a new GTA launch is "a fantastic development that would inject huge excitement into the games market for fans, retailers and media alike," adding Rockstar would "face the challenge of delivering another brilliant game that’s as good if not better than anything we’ve seen before." EEDAR's Jesse Divnich said in November 2011 that GTA V has the potential to shatter first day and first week sales records currently held by Call of Duty. In addition, Electronic Entertainment Design and Research analyst Jesse Divnich claimed, while speaking about his top five gaming predictions for the next year, that GTA V would be 2012's biggest release, coming out ahead of other big releases such as the next Call of Duty installation. In the beginning of December, Google Trends revealed that GTA V was the most searched 2012 video game launch on Google. After Take-Two Interactive delayed Rockstar's Max Payne 3 by two months to May 2012, several analysts expect GTA V to launch in Take-Two's 2013 fiscal year (ending March 31, 2013), despite an increasingly crowded release schedule for the publisher. Analysts including Pachter and National Alliance Capital Markets analyst Mike Hickey previously predicted a summer 2012 release for GTA V. U.S. financial analyst Baird Equity Research stated that GTA V and the next Call of Duty will account for around a quarter of all video game sales in the coming financial year, and a third of all money made from video games in the next year will also come from just those two titles.
