Rumor: Leaked pre-order poster lists Spring 2013 release for Grand Theft Auto V

GTA-Five.pl, a Grand Theft Auto fan site based out of Poland, has posted a picture of what they claim is the official Grand Theft Auto V pre-order poster. If the poster (which you can see to your right) is real, it confirms a number of very interesting things about GTA5.

First, the game is listed as coming to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This isn’t exactly surprising, but Rockstar has been hesitant to confirm just what platforms the fifth GTA will be appearing on. Second, the poster shows a Spring 2013 release date, which is consistent with a previous statement from Take Two’s CEO about the company’s expected profitability in early 2013. The kind of profitability that only comes from the release of a Grand Theft Auto game.

Other details we can glean from this poster include the European content rating (PEGI 18, no surprise there) and the use of the recently released “Pest Control” artwork. Of course, neither can be used to prove the veracity of the poster either way.

So what say you? Too legit to quit? Or faker than an EGM April Fool’s joke?
