Rumor: Grand Theft Auto V May Release This October

Alex O'Dwyer, a character animator at Rockstar Games, has an October 2012 release date listed for Grand Theft Auto V on his resume.

You can find O'Dwyer's LinkedIn account here, and his CV here, which contains the possible release date. This is by no means a confirmation of Grand Theft Auto V releasing in October, but it is a reasonable time frame for what will likely be one the biggest releases of the year, whatever year that may be.

  • This sounds great, and I'm hopeful for it. But it probably won't happen, so i'm not going to get my hopes up too high.
  • OH my poopies, they all in my pants...
  • Please don't be October...AC3 and Bioshock are being released that month!
  • Fake, The CV seems legit, but it does not fit in the "Shipped Titles" section. Somebody added it afterwards with Photoshop...
  • This will be freaking awesome!
  • Then we'll most likely see Rock* at E3 this year..
  • Looking at the rest of his resume... I do not believe this.
  • I think its to early, imo early next year would be alot better....I hope it stays a rumor.
  • I don't know, GTA V will probably be a pretty good game but the industry is looking for innovators. If I were him in an interview I would start off with Big Mutha Truckers 2, segway into my groundbreaking work with Pimp My Ride, then end with GTA V, just to Blow. Their. Minds!
  • Seems a bit soon, especially with Max Payne 3 also releasing this year.
  • Please let it be true.

  • I thought you said there wouldn't be a Grand Theft Auto this year.

  • Doubt it. Unless 2K REALLY wants to take sales away from COD.
  • Im not even gonna get my hopes up. I dont think Rockstar would release it that soon considering they haven't really been promoting the game that heavily. I mean they've only had a reveal trailer at this point, and it seems like with most of their games in the recent past (red dead, la noire, and now MP3) they tend to promote the game for a solid 7-6 months before release. I suppose they could start after MP3 releases and start getting people exciting over the summer months, and GTA V will sell itself no doubt, but i feel like this game is gonna need more time for those promo purposes. And even if R* was pushing for an october release date, I could easily see the game getting delayed. Its not like R* to rush a game release. And with a game like Gta V, which will most likely be R* biggest release to date I think their gonna make sure its polished.
  • No. not true absolutely not.
  • I predict that the game will be ready around March-May 2013. October is too early.
  • i can believe this manage to trick you.ITS added afterwards and PHOTSHOPED
  • That would be f'n awesome if that were true, but Im kinda feeling a March '13 release.

  • Looks pretty legit. Well we'll know for sure at E3

  • Here's hoping. =D
