Grand Theft Auto V, commonly shortened to GTA V, is an
upcoming open world action-adventure video game being developed by Rockstar
North in the United Kingdom and published by Rockstar Games. The game will be
the first major title in the Grand Theft Auto series since Grand Theft Auto IV
(2008), and a continuation of the fictional universe that was introduced in
that game. The 15th game in the series overall, GTA V is to be set in fictional
Los Santos in the state of San Andreas and its surrounding areas, based on
modern-day Los Angeles and Southern California. Renditions of San Andreas were
previously featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, released in 2004, and the
original Grand Theft Auto, released in 1997.
According to Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto V is destined to be
their biggest open world game to date.[14] The game will concentrate on
"the pursuit of the almighty dollar". In a break with recent
tradition, GTA V will feature three playable protagonists.
