Two New GTA IV Episodes On The Horizon? News

GTA IV is set to gain more episodes according to an analyst working for Kaufman Bros. Equity Research.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Todd Mitchell suggests that Raockstar Games will release two new GTA IV episodes in fiscal 2010, following the release of The Lost & Damned and the forthcoming The Ballad of Gay Tony.  Although both of these are exclusive to the Xbox 360, the report makes no mention as to whether Rockstar Games will follow a similar strategy.

"I would expect that there would be two more pieces of downloadable content for GTA IV, that's what has been indicated to me, although formats are unsure. It's been indicated to me to me that would be the case," Mitchell told GI.biz.

Further still, Mitchell claims that GTA V will follow in the 2011 fiscal year, despite the series creator Rockstar North recently confirming work on the PS3 exclusive, Agent.  In addition, Mitchell also suggests that the series could make a swansong on the ageing PS2, but suggests this is the most doubtful and doesn't clarify whether this would be a new title or a port of GTA: Chinatown Wars.

"Of the three, I'm least confident in saying for sure there will be a new GTA for PlayStation 2, but the track record shows that PSP titles have been repositioned [on PS2]," said Mitchell.
