Originally set to come out sometime this Spring, Grand Theft Auto V has now been pushed back until the Fall; specifically September 17th, Rockstar has announced. The time between the title’s original launch window and its new date is to be used for extra polish.
On Rockstar’s own website, the developer revealed the news, then later went on to apologize for the delay:
“We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time. GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require.”
“To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September – we thank you for your support and patience.”
Hey, look on the bright side, at least this gives you more time to plan ahead and prepare to take some time off from work.
