Analyst Micheal Pachter predicts that GTA V will be shown pre-E3 and that the open world game will release in October 2012.
The Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter said that Rockstar Games will announce first details for GTA5 before E3 2012. “They’ve outgrown the show. I think they’re way too cool to go. My read on those guys is they like stealing the thunder from everything else. So if I had to bet, I’d say you’d get an announcement on GTA V the day before E3 starts, that’d be Monday, June 4. they don’t show up and that’s all anybody can do is talk about GTA V at the show.”
The publisher was involved in the biggest game convention three years ago for the announcement of Agent. Rockstar has been absent for a few years, so its possible that they will show the game in action at the convention at the E3 press conferences on June 4. He also expects the game release on October 23th 2012.
