Rockstar Games made the official announcement today on their twitter account. Not much is known about the game other than we know that its coming and a logo made for the game. The trailer for the game is coming November 2nd. which will probably just show the story of the game and the setting it will be in. I would venture to assume they may make their way back over seasons to London or maybe a multi-continental experience. The game has been in developer for the last 3.5 years which is definitely need for the scope and detail that the GTA games are known for.  We have to wait for the trailer on Nov 2. and I would expect a playable demo at E3 2012.
