GTA 5 gets an official launch date
This goes in the WTF category O_o ... I now UBI moved SplinterCell out to Sept to be alone and have time before the next console launch, i'm sur they're real pleased this morning that this behemoth moved into their month. But also GTA is a game you can play for a long long time, it's most likely a 1 1/2 to 2 months ahead of a new console launch. I imagine that's gonna hurt their dlc sales quite a bit.
Grand Theft Auto 5 will hijack Xbox 360 and PS3 retail on September 17, 2013. Publisher Rockstar Games says the game has been moved from its originally projected release window of spring in order to "allow additional development time."
"We are very excited for people to learn more about the game in the coming months," said Rockstar Games founder Sam Houser.
Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive and its investors are likely more eager for GTA 5 to launch than gamers, since the game's release is projected to deliver $600 million in revenues.
