If you keep up to date on Grand Theft Auto news, you might have just seen something exciting: a press release about a sequel to GTA San Andreas, planned for 2015. It claimed this new game would once again follow CJ in a new story set 7 years after San Andreas, and provided details on some of the features. Well, if you're excited about the possibility of a San Andreas 2, take a deep breath and step back. It's probably false.
For one thing, the "press release" claims Rockstar secretly announced this game at PlayStation Experience, which was held in Las Vegas on December 6th and 7th, and showed it to members of the press. Unless this was meant to remain a secret for some reason, we would have most likely heard of it before now, from multiple news sources. That takes us to the second point.
The site responsible for this rumor is Grand Times. The site only has a handful of other news articles, and they cover topics such as Electronic Dance Music based around Al Gore's speeches and golf matches being used to determine the next president.
In short, Grand Times is not reliable. These articles are either meant as parodies or just intended to draw in traffic--and in the case of the San Andreas 2 article, the plan worked. Over 42,000 people have already shared the "news."
While there's a tiny possibility this rumor is true, we're inclined to doubt it when a site like that is the only one with the information. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 2 has not been announced, and unless Rockstar makes such an announcement, the best thing fans can do is spread the word and stop sharing that article.
