The briefing
Published 14 November 2012. This archival report describes the announcement and offers of that period; temporary rewards do not remain active indefinitely.
Trailer 2 arrived on November 14, 2012 and used Stevie Wonder’s Skeletons. It expanded the public introduction to Michael, Franklin and Trevor, showing their contrasting circumstances alongside action and glimpses of the campaign.
The music helps bind the three strands into a single promotional sequence, while the editing moves between character moments and larger set pieces. Such a trailer does not establish a playable mission order: scenes can be rearranged for pace and impact. Read it alongside the earlier announcement trailer and the later protagonist-specific videos to follow how the marketing gradually explained the ensemble. The archive identifies the song and release date while keeping trailer interpretation separate from the finished mission walkthroughs.
