Niko Bellic's Air Sol plane ticket, a possible easter egg by Rockstar Games about the location of Grand Theft Auto 5.

Grand Theft Auto 5 (abbreviated to GTA 5 or GTA V) is the logical name given by fans to the expected next game in the Grand Theft Auto series.

This game is not confirmed to exist. Its title, release date and content have not been announced. It has been rumored heavily that Grand Theft Auto 5 is already in development, however this also has not been confirmed.

Hints and guesses about GTA 5

File:Liberty City its all over.jpg
The Liberty City, It's Over! poster, a possible teaser on Grand Theft Auto 5.
  • On page thirteen of the Episodes from Liberty City guide book, there's a teaser that shows a broken heart made of the GTA IV box art and says "Liberty City, It's Over!" followed by "Next Stop..." and a small torn area that shows another poster behind, later revealed to be an advert for Mollis.[1] The torn area has been noted as being in the shape of France. It also says in the right lower corner in a red box "Opens March Everywhere".
  • The Mollis advertisement located behind the "Liberty City, It's Over!" poster is another possible clue on the location of Grand Theft Auto 5; the logo of Mollis is a volcano, and part of the volcano is seen at the ripped corner of the poster, after the words "Next Stop...", meaning that the next Grand Theft Auto game may possibly be in an area with, or near, active volcanos, like Hawaii.
  • A Drusilla's advertisement may also be a possible clue to the location of Grand Theft Auto 5. Similar to the "Liberty City, It's Over!" poster, it has a ripped corner with sentence fragments. However, the only words that can be seen are "Escape", "12", "10PM until its done" and "$10 entry". The "12" possibly means that Grand Theft Auto 5 will be released in 2012 and the "10PM until its done" possibly means that either the storyline would be long or that the game will be launched late. The torn area is also in the shape of the top-left corner of France, implying that the next Grand Theft Auto game might take place in Europe, most likely in London or France.
  • Another possible teaser is seen at the end of The Ballad of Gay Tony, when supporting character Patrick McReary is shown taking a flight to an unknown location, with fandom speculaing the location GTA 5. With Packie's family have Irish heritage, fans claim the possibility of Ireland being the setting for GTA 5. It has been debated among skeptical fans of the series if it will be set in the present day following Packie, or during The Troubles following Derrick or Gerald during their service in the Provisional IRA. Either would be considered sectarian and therefore unlikely, as the story would focus around dissidence and republicanism.[2]
  • According to reports, Rockstar Games recently registered new website domains that sound like they could belong to GTA 5's in-game Internet, assuming the game inherits the feature from GTA IV. The domains are: CashForDeadDreams.com, SixFigureTemps.com, StopPayingYourMortgage.net, HammersteinFaust.com, and LifeInvader.com.[3]
  • In 2010, Rockstar Games said that 2011 will be a "non-GTA-year"(?). Despite no confirmation, this has led many to believe that the next GTA game will be released in 2012.
  • In July 2010, The Examiner commented on Rockstar researching in Los Angeles and the Hollywood area (serving as the basis for Los Santos and Vinewood in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and both mentioned in GTA IV) and said that GTA V may be announced next year at a Max Payne 3 event.[5] However, this was more than likely for L.A. Noire, a mystery game that takes place in Los Angeles.
  • Take-Two Interactive revealed they are expecting at least $2.00 per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The last time this happened was during the release of GTA IV, which reached $2.08 per share. Income only reached $1.06 per share during the release of Red Dead Redemption, and is projected to only reach $0.35 for the current fiscal year. It is expected that only a GTA game is able to bring this level of success to T2, which implies one must be planned for release in fiscal year 2012.
