Second trailer for Grand Theft Auto V to debut November 14

The next trailer for Grand Theft Auto V will arrive online next week, offering us yet another peek at Rockstar Games’ impending return to the carjacking, gun-toting, crime spree that is the GTA franchise.

The second trailer was originally scheduled to premiere at some earlier point, but the recent damage caused by Hurricane Sandy affected the company’s New York City office. The new premiere date was announced on the Rockstar website earlier this week.

“We are working on a second trailer–unfortunately Hurricane Sandy has derailed our plans somewhat but we will have something to show soon,” Rockstar posted on its website last week. “It’s hard to be precise as we have no power whatsoever in our New York office. We hope everyone else in affected areas is doing okay.”

Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto V kicked off yesterday, November 5, with a Spring 2013 release date for the game announced in October.

Over at All Games Beta, there appears to be some new images featuring some of the pre-order exclusives that will accompany early sales of the game, including a keychain image viewer and some promotional art featuring some of the new locations in the game — including the Vespucci Canals, Vinewood Hills, Del Perro Pier, and Zancudo River.

The biggest gaming news of 2023: Insomniac leak, GTA 6 reveal, and more
Lucia and her partner rob a store in GTA 6.

2023 was a roller coaster for the video games industry. On the software side, it was a historic year for new releases. We got everything from big success stories like Baldur's Gate 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to memorable indies in Venba and Chants of Sennaar. But from the business side, 2023 was a lot more tumultuous. While some notable studio acquisitions and game announcements happened, thousands of developers were laid off, entire studios were shut down or hacked, and the provider of one of the most popular game engines landed in hot water after trying to roll out a controversial change.

The most notable gaming news stories of 2023 run the gamut from genuinely exciting to thoroughly disappointed. That speaks to a video game industry bound to head into an odd 2024 that lacks the known quantity bombshells of this year and continues to reel from layoffs. In last year's iteration of this article, my editor said that the 2020s are shaping up to be "the most pivotal decade in gaming history when all is said and done." If this year is anything to go by, that will almost certainly be true. These were the gaming stories that defined 2023, for better and much worse.

Kurtaj's sentence is based on a number of factors. The young hacker has autism, said that he wanted to continue committing cybercrimes, and has reportedly been violent while in custody. The court ultimately decided that he would "remain at a secure hospital for life unless doctors deem him no longer a danger."
