Once you consider how synonymous with gaming the GTA V emblem has grow to be, and the best way the stylization has crossed into the mainstream, we are able to most likely look into the longer term and see what’s forward for this iteration.

The trailer itself is 90 seconds of enjoyable and adrenaline the place we get launched to the star of the piece Lucia who’s preparing for launch from jail. Inside a minute we are able to see that she has not discovered the straight and slim and is again robbing and stealing with a brand new accomplice in crime.
