Awesome news for gamers all around the world - the long awaited Grand Theft Auto 5 title has been confirmed for a release in Spring 2013 by Take Two Interactive. Pre-orders of the game will also begin on Nov. 5, 2012 on both the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Gamers have long awaited this piece of information since the first trailer of Grand Theft Auto 5 went live. No one knows the story behind the game, but so far it has been speculated that the game could be set in Liberty City, the same city Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and San Andreas were based in.

When it comes to characters, developer Rockstar may go for someone new rather than a returning character, since the developer had never featured a main character two times in any of its games. Then again, there could be chances of this happening despite Rockstar's history.

It is highly likely that gamers could get another glimpse of Grand Theft Auto 5 before 2012 comes to a close. With the game release date being announced and pre-orders set for Nov. 5, anything is possible at this point. Furthermore, the first and only trailer was released in Nov. 2, 2011, don't be surprised if another trailer hits the Internet on the one-year anniversary to celebrate the announcement.

The one thing that would make gamers happy, is a video of actual gameplay and some information regarding the game's story and characters.
