An anonymous source that is familiar with the development process for Grand Theft Auto V has assured fans that the game will not be launched during 2012, despite a date of November 23 that appeared on the Portugal site of retailer Zavvi.

The source stated he was ready to “bet my wife, my house and your life on it not coming out this year.”

It’s not clear what the November 23 date was based on.

The speculation was sparked by the fact that publisher Take Two has released a new set of screenshots linked to the video game.

GTA V was officially announced late during 2011 and since then developer Rockstar has been offering only limited information about the new game.

GTA V will take the player back to Los Santos in the state of San Andreas and its surrounding areas, modeled by Rockstar on Los Angeles and its adjacent counties.
