Rockstar Games tease fans with new GTA V artwork

As GTA V fans tentatively await an official release date from Rockstar Games, the developer has offered some slight respite in the form of some new artwork.

This latest update follows a string of others, as the developer’s latest instalment in this wildly popular franchise is rumoured for release early next year.

The new artwork, dubbed “Pest Control”, shows two men exiting a van, sporting the usual gas mask and assault rifle combo that most pest controllers use nowadays. The artwork hints at an in-game mission and follows suit with the usual paper-chasing motivation that drives all GTA characters.

There are no definitive details on GTA V, but the teaser trailer would lead fans to believe it to be the natural successor of GTA San Andreas, arguably the best GTA title of all time. This latest incarnation is set in Los Santos and is looks to be “the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar has yet created”.
