First GTA V Art Released
Rockstar revealed the first art piece for GTA V today on their official website. The image comes with the tagline, “Lots of info coming next month. Get ready.” Eagle-eyed readers will notice that this image is strikingly similar to a segment of the game’s first trailer, released earlier this year. Also note that this is the first time the classic GTA painting-art has depicted a moment from an actual mission, rather than just random characters, pieces of the city, and six-fingered prostitutes.
