"Were pleased to confirm that Grand Theft Auto V has officially gone gold and were now preparing the game for release on September 17th for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Unfortunately, as many of you may already know, some people who downloaded the digital pre-order of Grand Theft Auto V through the PlayStation Store in Europe were able to access certain GTAV assets leading to leaked information and media from the game appearing online.Furthermore they added that any further discussion about the spoilers or other preload material on their official website will result in a temporary ban. Grand Theft Auto V is due September 17. The remaining time to launch will mainly be used for marketing purposes.
[..]
As you can imagine, we are deeply disappointed by leaks and spoilers being spread in advance of the game's launch. GTAV represents years of hard work by many people across the world, and we all couldn't be more excited to finally share it with you properly this September 17th. Please stay tuned here at the Rockstar Newswire for all announcements about GTAV between now and game release as we definitely still have more to officially reveal."
