GTAV unlikely in 2010

MCV Staff 4th December 2009 Business News

With recent DLC release The Ballad of Gay Tony apparently marking the end of the Grand Theft Auto IV journey, attentions have now turned to what Rockstar may have planned for the inevitable GTAV – but it looks like the wait is going to be a long one.

Though publisher Take Two has not been specific in naming a date – or indeed, revealing any detail at all – about the sequel, talk in its recent investor report seems to dash hopes of a 2010 release for GTAV.

Specifically, Take Two says that GTA is such a strong franchise” that it doesn’t need annual releases, particularly whilst DLC releases for GTAIV mean that the record-breaking epic is still making money.

Whether that means a 2011 release for GTAV remains to be seen – but that’s the obvious conclusion to draw.
