Analyst Predicts Grand Theft Auto V Release Date in 2013

Regardless of when Grand Theft Auto V releases, it will sell an absolute ton.  To this point we’ve only been shown a trailer for the title, but there are more fansites and forum threads up about the game than you can possibly imagine.  The big question still lingers: when will the game release?

As reported by Game Informer, National Capital Markets analyst Mike Hickey believes that Rockstar’s juggernaut will be released in the early portion of 2013.  This would keep Grand Theft Auto V in the fiscal year of 2013 for Rockstar, which doesn’t seem to be too believable to us.

Rockstar has a typical track record of releasing their bigger titles around the month of May, and we would not expect Grand Theft Auto V to be any different.  While there are arguments towards both sides, fans of the video game series just want the game to be out sooner rather than later.

What do you think about the release date mentioned by the analyst above?  Do you feel that the game will release this year or next year?  Be sure to let us know what you think by leaving us a comment below, or talk about GTA V in our forums!
