Confirming a retailer leak a couple of days prior, publisher/developer Rockstar has solidified the release window for the fifth major entry in their epic crime opus as Spring next year.

The game is also confirmed to release on 360 and PS3, with no confirmation on PC or Wii U versions at this stage.

More media and information on the long-silent sequel will be forthcoming next month.  Naturally, here at The Gaming Vault, we’ll have you covered.

To mark the occasion Rockstar have released a new piece of art which you can see after the break.  Are we excited yet?
