Is Grand Theft Auto V Heading to Gamescom This Year? [Updated]

Don't get too excited just yet, but if the promotional trailer for Gamescom 2012 is any kind of an indication, Rockstar Games could be preparing to take Grand Theft Auto V to the show in Cologne, Germany next month.

It's wild speculation based entirely upon a split-second glimpse of a sliver of GTA V footage taken from the debut trailer (see below for trailer), which was originally revealed back in November of last year. Nothing has been heard from Rockstar regarding Grand Theft Auto V since, and as expected, it was a no-show at E3.

We wouldn't be surprised if Rockstar skipped Gamescom this August too, despite what's been put into the Gamescom trailer at the 1 minute 50 seconds mark. You can view the trailer below and make your own mind up, but we remain doubtful that we'll see anything of Grand Theft Auto V until later in the year.

We've reached out to Rockstar for comment, but have yet to hear anything back. Want to remind yourself of what all the fuss is about? We've embedded the Grand Theft Auto V debut trailer for you to watch again below.

[Update] We've been sent a response, and it's much as we expected. "I'm afraid we don't comment on rumour or speculation," Rockstar told us. Let's wait until Gamescom this August and see what happens, eh?
