Gamers have been waiting for a new Grand Theft Auto drop for a long time. GTA5 online is still doing very well, so a new incarnation isn’t coming any time soon. That won’t stop Rockstar Games from celebrating their past.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is coming soon. No release date was announced for this title, but it will include three of the franchise’s definitive releases, updated in full HD and new features.

Rockstar Games sent out a teaser video that sent fans in to a tizzy. Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and everyone’s favorite, GTA: San Andreas could be getting brand new looks in this updated drop. Then they followed that up with a few tweets to clarify what they have in store.

Later this month marks a very special anniversary for Rockstar Games: 20 years since the original release of Grand Theft Auto III.
