However, that has now changed. Rockstar have confirmed that, at long last, fans will get their first official glimpse – not just leaked videos – of thenext Grand Theft Auto game in early December as they release the first trailer.

That trailer is likely to give us an indication as to when the game releases too, as we still don’t have a confirmed release date. So, some fans are taking it upon themselves to change their lives so they’re still around it.
