Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City coming to PC.

Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., is pleased to announce the much-anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City for Games for Windows — LIVE on March 30, 2010. For the first time, Games for Windows — LIVE players will have the opportunity to experience the last two thrilling chapters of the Grand Theft Auto IV saga.

The two action-packed episodes, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, will also be available for download on Games for Windows — LIVE on March 30, 2010. Each episode takes place in the same detailed and immersive world that made Grand Theft Auto IV one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. Games for Windows — LIVE players can enjoy 32-player multiplayer matches and an advanced video editor, and all fans will experience new songs on the updated soundtrack as featured across Liberty City’s 13 diverse radio stations, alongside in-game television and Liberty City’s own internet.

"It's been a long time coming, but we are proud to finally deliver Episodes From Liberty City for the PC," said Sam Houser, president of Rockstar Games. "We appreciate the patience of our PC fans worldwide, and we look forward to putting the games in your hands this March."

The Lost and Damned is a dark trip through Liberty City’s seedy underbelly, as outlaw biker Johnny Klebitz fights to keep his gang together as a rift in the gang’s leadership threatens to tear the brotherhood apart. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, players explore Liberty City’s high-end nightlife as Luis Lopez, struggling to balance the temptations of money and vice against loyalties to family and friends. Both episodes feature a slew of new vehicles and weapons, and each episode adds new activities including cage fighting, gang wars and BASE jumping.

The episodes will be available individually on Games for Windows — LIVE as downloadable content for owners of Grand Theft Auto IV, and together as the standalone title Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City at retail outlets.
