The December issue of Game Informer has thrown out a host of new info about the hotly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V from Rockstar.

Among the info dump, it's been revealed that there are three main characters: Michael, Franklin and obvious badass Trevor. Each have their own skills, along with personality and contacts that you can swap between them as you play.

In terms of world, Los Santos is massive — the square mileage of the gameplay area is bigger than Red Dead Redemption, San Andreas and GTA IV combined. There will be urban, wilderness and even, weirdly, underwater areas.
