Analyst: two more GTA 4 DLC coming, sequel next year
Rockstar’s been on a roll with the Grand Theft Auto franchise lately, what with the PSP version of Chinatown Wars coming and the upcoming release of Gay Tony DLC for the Xbox 360 version of GTA 4. Todd Mitchell, analyst for Kaufman Bros. Equity Research has some predictions for the series, and they are quite interesting.
Mitchell anticipates two more downloadable GTA IV episodes to be released after The Ballad of Gay Tony. He also notes that since Microsoft’s deal covers only two episodes, these later ones may end up on PS3 as well.
Most interestingly, Mitchell believes that Rockstar will debut GTA V sometime next year. He believes that the only reason it wasn’t shown or teased at E3 was “Rockstar’s track record with delivering on time.”
Another prediction was made, though he wasn’t entirely confident with it: the PSP port of Chinatown Wars may also be released on the PS2. Yes, that aging Sony console no one wants to forget.
