Rockstar Games and developer Team Bondi have officially announced that the upcoming detective thriller L.A. Noire is launching 17 May in America, and 20 May everywhere else.

"L.A. Noire breaks new ground for us," said Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games. "Its intense blend of action and real detective work defies genre conventions to create a unique and captivating thriller."

Set in a post-World War II Los Angeles, the game features "crime-solving, clue-finding, car chases and shoot-outs", as well as the impressive MotionScan tech-enhanced "revolutionary new interrogation-based gameplay that will allow players to read characters' emotions in order to reveal the truth".

And you can have a sneak peek at L.A. Noire's highly intricate interrogation system in the new gameplay trailer, which sets the scene with deranged serial killers, potential love interests, shoot outs, and more.
