Rockstar Games has finally set a date for the release of one of the year's most anticipated software releases.

Grand Theft Auto IV will be released worldwide on April 29 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

"We are so excited to be releasing Grand Theft Auto IV," commented Sam Houser, founder and executive producer of Rockstar Games.

"We've pushed ourselves very hard to make something incredible and hope the game sets a new benchmark for interactive entertainment."

The date is later than some internet sites had speculated, and comes just within parent company Take-Two's end of financial year.

It also misses the crucial easter sales, considered one of the first big retail periods of the year.


With that being said, all we need now is to wait. Let's just hope that they release a Demo earlier. It could help us kill the time meanwhile. :)

One of the main reasons I bought a next gen console was to play this baby! :)

Oh, someone can't count:

Jan->Feb->Mar->April = 3 months left

96 days/30 = 3.2

Read what I actually said.

4th month - Not bad I guess.
I never, ever said how many months left. I said the month, NOT months. If you're still clueless, heres it in plain english:
I meant 4th month of the year! Not how many months left.

Because I was wondering to myself before the date was announced - Which month is GTA4 coming out?
4th month of the year, not bad IMO.
Btw, I beat your score on CTF - think you can beat it? :p

Right after tax time (in the US; Rockstar being a US company), if anyone remembers my reasons for why they wouldn't release it in March...
