At the tail end of February we heard about a few trademark filings that seem to point to a new Grand Theft Auto game. Now Superannuation, who is known for unearthing trademark filings for upcoming games, seems to have stumbled upon something that further supports the rumor that a new entry is indeed already in the works.

Here's a recap of a series of posts made on superannuation's Twitter page:

"After I found out the GTA5 stuff weekend before last, I went on a number of Google/WHOIS searches to see if there was anything else to find. Unsurprisingly, it was all coming up empty — but I then decided to search for things from the last year pertaining to motion capture and their casting company—Telsey & Company; unexpectedly, the 1st result was a casting call on an acting blog (http://j.mp/fa5Fm5) for a game called Sao Paulo Knights which reminded me of Max Payne 3′s description.

 

Surely enough, a quick search of Sao Paulo Knights came up w/ an actor’s news page http://j.mp/ed4fCb which mentioned it right next to MP3. I went back to the mocap search and scrolled further down at the results & noticed a daily casting call roundup*** http://j.mp/fQqgLU And among the projects listed in the casting call was an “interactive project” called “Rush,” which featured characters that fit with the few details I heard about GTA5; outlandish characters, weed, gangsters, & celebrities fit the profile for a contemporary LA-set GTA game. Plus it’s being casted by Telsey & Company. With all of that, I feel fairly confident in saying that “Rush” is actually a codename for GTA5."

Could this "Rush" project indeed be Grand Theft Auto V in disguise? Only time will tell.
