Rockstar Games has released its new Grand Theft Auto V trailer today ahead of its September 17 release date. The new clip gives some insight into one of the many portrayals and storylines offered by the latest installment in the popular car-jacking franchise. Set in fictional Los Altos, GTA V follows three different characters who each intricately tied to a life of criminal undertakings and major heists.
Though Rockstar has experience delays here and there pushing the game’s release to September 17, upon launching GTA V will be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as well as their next-generation PS4 and Xbox One consoles upon their respective launches in November. Pre-order for GTA V is currently available right here.

Grand Theft Auto Online
With the new Grand Theft Auto Online feature, users will have the ability to plug themselves and their favorite character into an online multiplayer world. Using a “Persistent and expanding map,” gamers will be afforded the opportunity to employ the newly designed mechanics to undertake a number of assignments, both deliberate and impromptu. These include being able to meet new characters and friends, and create a street-ruling crew capable of heisting banks, robbing liquor stores, and of course, jacking cars. Classic online gameplay and missions are also available.
Customization is also crucial in GTA 5 as users can now spend the petty cash they make from their embezzlements to outfit their character with a new apartment, clothing, guns, or a garage where they can keep not only their pilfered pickups but also the likes of jet planes and jet skis.
Characters
The character analysis gave a short-lived though engaging backstory into Michael, a former successful bank robber with a much less successful family life; Franklin, a common street hustler and thug; and Trevor, of whom the is cryptically introduced as “the less said about Trevor, the better.”
Maps
Fictional city and setting Los Santos is poised to be the biggest environment map ever created by Rockstar, and screenshots from the game indicate that players will have plenty of cityscapes, coastlines, mountains, and badlands to explore with various cars, boats, and planes.
