'GTA V' PS4 Bundle Release Date Nov. 18; Eagerly Awaited in Europe

Gamers based in Europe are eagerly awaiting the release on Nov. 18 of a special edition of Grand Theft Auto.

This edition is distinct for being a GTA V PS4 bundle, as announced by PlayStation France. The PS4 bundle will be released to the market in jet black and glacier white colors.

In a complementary move, Rockstar Games will also be launching Grand Theft Auto 5 on the very same date.

But it is not simply the fact that the release will initially happen in Europe (notably in the United Kingdom, as well as in Italy, Spain, and Germany, if the Amazon listings were to be considered as indicators) that makes the wait highly exciting.

Rumors and discussions about leaks have been going around that among the newer aspects of GTA V is the ability of gamers to create more and better heists and missions, such as those for breaking allies out of prison or staging bank heists.

There's also a Humane Labs Raid, which, going by the name, most probably has to do with a break-in into an animal research laboratory of a facility for conducting experiments on animals for the benefit of humans.

The medal system will follow a hierarchy or awarding levels of bronze, silver, and gold. There is also reputedly a first person point of view, which was initially made by players in the previous GTA version.

Photos of the new release have already been circulating for some time. That's why the GTA V PS4 bundle is no longer a mystery. The thrill is more on how the bundle will stand up to the critical observation of gamers based on the hype and excitement that came before its release.

With all the excitement going on in Europe, however, there is still no news to date as to whether or not a release in the U.S. is also forthcoming.

Let's just hope better news about a U.S. release lies ahead.
