Well this has come out of nowhere, can't wait to see what the trailer has to say about the actual and possible gameplay of GTA5.

Why would they bluff.

GTA London is just wishful thinking, how many GTA games have there been and how many of them have been set in London, there has never been a main game set in London only mission packs.

Setting it in the UK doesnt lend well to the kind of game GTA is. There is no gun culture here.

Actually, there has been one game that has been set in London, The Getaway, and The Getaway:Black Monday (For the PS2).

Additionally, GTA isn't based on true stories, yes things like that may happen in the US (Never been but have watch documentaries about the sort), but London, do have certian crimes that include gun crimes, drug wars and other such, it will be good to see another game set in London since there isn't many, its all based around the US.

Its not going to be in london, the 5 in the GTA logo looks like a US dollar note.

Although I doubt this game will be set in London, but the logo looks no more like the dollar bill than it does a UK £5 note.

Then why does www.rockstargames.com/gtalondon/ lead to the announcement page?

www.rockstargames.com/anythingyouwant leads to that page, it's not London.

I actually think Washington DC could make a TON of sense for a GTA game from the story side of things. Corrupt politicians for starters. And for those who do not know, DC has some of the worst ghettos in the US, crime is literally rampant just a mile or so from the White House, so it makes for a truly interesting dichotomy. It is just the geography that would wind up being very boring for a GTA game.

San Fran or Chicago would be my 2 guesses.

London would be awesome. A remake of Vice City would be great too.

Sucks that that PC wont get this for a looooong time. I hope they fix driving. GTA 4 was fun, but meh on the storyline. I think VC and SA had the best stories.

Shut up its GTA India :)

Jokes apart , i just hope its built rightly for PC , maybe with lesser spec requirements , GTA is something everyone HAS to play for everyday life :p It should be light on systems

It doesnt make sense to do London, there is no gun culture so there would be no valid explanation to have the kind of weapons available for a game set in London.

There is very much a growing gun culture in London. And anyway, you don't see people running around in the US with rocket launchers, it's all massively exaggerated anyway, so...

awesome news, loved GTA IV. i'm pretty sure this will be for the next consoles and PC, and i doubt it'll be in London...the entire franchise is based on mocking/respecting contemporary US culture.

Should be interesting.

Not sure how this is a surprise to anyone though. The major "10th Anniversary" sale and PR campaign that just started last week was a major hint to the imminent announcement of 5.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
