Happy GTA5 news day!

The US Games magazine Game Informer has an exclusive 18 page reveal on GTA5 in their magazine today - the digital release of which comes out 5pm today.

In the meantime Rockstar Games have continued their teasing marketing campaign with releasing ANOTHER screenshot

 

A new screenshot for Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 has been revealed.

The image appears in ShortList magazine, and shows what appears to be the new game's protagonist riding a stolen jet ski and firing a submachine gun.

Along with the screenshot, the magazine provided some background details on the new game's lead character, a 'former East Coast gangster who moved to Los Santos for a fresh start'.

In typical Rockstar fashion he is pulled into Los Santos's own criminal underground, riding the stolen jet ski with a deadly weapon.

A major Grand Theft Auto 5 announcement is scheduled for tomorrow (November 8), when Game Informer reveals the cover story of its next issue.

Rockstar will also debut the second Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer worldwide on November 14. The trailer was supposed to arrive this week, but was delayed due to Hurricane Sandy closing Rockstar's New York offices.
