According to Michael Pachter, Rockstar Games upcoming Grand Theft Auto V will be revealed the day before E3 2012 and will hit stores on October 23.

“They’ve outgrown the show. I think they’re way too cool to go,” he said, noting recent absences from the show in the past few years.

Pachter added: “My read on those guys is they like stealing the thunder from everything else,” Pachter went on. “So if I had to bet, I’d say you’d get an announcement on GTA V the day before E3 starts, that’d be Monday, June 4. They don’t show up and all anybody can do is talk about GTA V at the show.”

But with such a packed holiday season where does GTA V fit into the release schedule? According to Pachter, Rockstar will move in on the turf of 2K’s BioShock Infinite and appear in stores on October 23. Pachter says Rockstar simply doesn’t “care about the 2K game”.

The game will offer a 32 player multiplayer mode, a revised Wanted system, a map five times the size of Liberty City and a customisable gun system, according to a massive, leak on Gamespot’s forums.

Grand Theft Auto V could be released as early as October 2012, or as late as May 2013 for the Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Wii U.
