Grand Theft Auto 5 details have been trickling in lately, slowly revealing more about the game’s characters, mechanics, and plot. Last week, we found out that Rockstar Games’ upcoming open world action-adventure game would star not one, but three protagonists. Now, the title’s second trailer has formally introduced us to these charming lads.

From the looks of it, this definitely seems to be Rockstar’s biggest venture into the Grand Theft Auto universe. Each of the three main characters has his own agenda and background. Judging from the trailer, a common goal will unite these three men, making for quite the interesting tale of crime, killing, and deception.

Aside from helicopter explosions, train-hopping, and jumping off airplanes, there are some nice narrative details revealed in the trailer. If you were skeptical about Grand Theft Auto 5 like I was, this trailer may just change your mind. 2013 couldn’t come soon enough.
