Grand Theft Auto 5, Rockstar has been teasing the next installment of the popular franchise since the fall of 2011, revealing trailers and tidbits, even a final release date (Sept. 17). But until now, the studio has kept any real gameplay hidden.

Today, Rockstar dropped almost five full minutes of gameplay, showing off the expansive world players will get to explore.

“A sprawling, satirical re-imagining of modern Southern California,” the soothing narration said while introducing the video game. “Covering mountains and oceans, expensive stores and strip malls, urban decay and untouched wilderness, beaches and backwoods, the sublime and the ridiculous, greed and hypocrisy.”

Set in the streets of Southern California, Grand Theft Auto V was announced in late October 2011, when Rockstar revealed only the new logo and no other details. The first trailer hit the Web a week later, introducing a man most assumed would serve as the game’s main character.

But in a twist, the studio later revealed that, for the first time, Grand Theft Auto actually features three would-be heroes: Michael, a once-successful bank robber turned family man; street hustler Franklin; and the mysterious Trevor, about whom “the less is said, the better.”
