Rockstar wants to present the best version of GTA 5 to the public

Rockstar Games, the developer behind the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V, has confirmed that it can't share right now new details about GTA V because it's busy working hard on it and wants to make sure that fans will be able to admire a polished version of the title.

Grand Theft Auto 5 is eagerly awaited by millions of gamers from around the world and many had already planned to allocate lots of time to the new title this spring, when it was initially set to appear.

Sadly, Rockstar was forced to delay the title and revealed last month that Grand Theft Auto V will be released on September 17 for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Since then, no new details have been shared, leading many fans to start complaining in the comments section of the Rockstar Newswire.

The developer has now issued a new message, apologizing for the lack of any new info but emphasizing that it wants to present the best version of the game to the world.

"As we have said before, we have often had long gaps between asset releases on previous games and will continue to do so in the future. We are sorry if you find this frustrating, but please understand, we don't do this because we 'don't care about our fans', 'don't respect our fans', 'hate GTA fans etc' - precisely the opposite," the studio said.

"We do it because we want to make sure we only release 100% correct information, and because we want to keep plenty back for the actual game release so there are still lots of surprises when you play it."

What's more, Rockstar can't say for sure when it will be ready to share new details with fans so they'll have to continue waiting for the new title.

"Sorry, we can't provide a timeline as to when you can expect more info or media from GTA V. Right now we're just bunkered down busy working on the game and aren't ready to share anything new - please be patient and of course there will be more to see in the months leading up to game release. Thank you."

You can expect Rockstar to bring GTA or at least make some sort of GTA V announcement around E3 2013 in June.
