Fans of the road rage inducing Grand Theft Auto series may have already taken lead to to the rumors floating around about a possible new GTA sequel or prequel being released in that later portion of 2009. Let your hopes down gently, as Rockstar claimed that there was in fact no truth to the rumor of a possible new retail game being released before 2010, or that it will take place in Tokyo. However, Rockstar mentioned that the first of a possible many downloadable episodes for the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV will be released sometime next month, subsequently called "The Lost and Damned". If all goes well, more downloadable episodes will be available for those looking forward to some fresh gameplay while they wait for some new game information to be officially announced. Fans still crossing their fingers hoping for a new game to be released by the holidays; don't hold you breath.
