GTA 5 wasn't mentioned in the latest Take-Two investor call, but CEO Strauss Zelnick did announce the extension of Rockstar's current deal and hinted that "a very strong pipeline of titles in development" would boost earnings next year.
"If we look at Rockstar’s track record over the last 24 months, they seem dedicated on owning the month of May (Red Dead and L.A. Noire). Of course, the last GTA was launched in April." EEDAR's Jesse Divnich told NowGamer.
“The most ideal schedule for Rockstar, would be a Max Payne release in May 2012; GTA V November 2012”
GTA 5 will likely launch in either May or November next year, according to the analyst.
"Personally, I’d go with November 2012. The market has been so over-saturated with FPS that there is and will be considerable demand for sandbox action based titles for the next 3 years.
"That being said, I believe that GTA V would substantially crush any competitors within its holiday window. If I could create the most ideal schedule for Rockstar, it would be a Max Payne release in May 2012; GTA V in November 2012."
