Rockstar Games has released an "official trailer" for Grand Theft Auto V (so all of the other trailers they released were unofficial?)  A more fitting description would be that this is a story trailer.  It shows that the affluent Michael is drawn back into the world of heists by his crazy former partner Trevor, and that they're joined by fellow criminal Franklin.  The comedy and action we've come to expect from GTA is on full display, and I assume this will be the trailer that they'll start airing on television since the game's release is only a few weeks away.

Hit the jump to check out the new trailer.  Grand Theft Auto V will be released on September 17th.  Click here to pre-order the Xbox 360 version, and click here to pre-order the PlayStation 3 version.

Here's the official synopsis for Grand Theft Auto V:
Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a street hustler looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.
