Grand Theft Auto 5 News: The first gameplay trailer for Grand Theft Auto 5 has been released and shows off a little of Los Santos to whet your appetite for September 17.

Grand Theft Auto 5 has a new gameplay trailer that has just been released. Rockstar has just released this new video to showcase some of what you can expect from Grand Theft Auto 5 when it hits store shelves on September 17 for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

“Grand Theft Auto V continues to push the series forward in new ways; Rockstar North are creating our deepest, most beautiful and most immersive world yet,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “We are very excited for people to learn more about the game in the coming months.”

For those who might not be keeping up with all things Grand Theft Auto, a brief synopsis of Grand Theft Auto V is below:

Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.
