    A leaked image of a European poster for Grand Theft Auto V is pointing towards Spring 2013 as the release window. This image and news comes from the Grand Theft Auto fan forum, GTA-Five. However, Rockstar itself has still not confirmed this. Also, it is unclear whether or not this will be the release for all regions. The last Grand Theft Auto game released in Japan 6 months after it’s American release. We do not know if this is to be the case with GTA V as well.

    It is also interesting to note that the images do not contain the logo for the Wii U. Does this mean that Nintendo’s new console will not see the marvel that is GTA V? Or has Rockstar got other plans for it later?

    More Grand Theft Auto V news is expected in November. Visit TechDeville then for we will have the hottest news at your disposal.

  • L.A Noire Tops June 2011 Software Sales According To NPD
