Liberty City is about to get a little more fabulous -- Rockstar Games has announced The Ballad of Gay Tony, the second episode for Grand Theft Auto 4.
"Liberty City is the most vibrant game world we've created yet. The episodic structure has allowed us to interweave stories, gameplay and atmosphere in a whole new way," said Rockstar founder Sam Houser.
"The team at Rockstar North have yet again surpassed themselves, and made something that is both epic and very innovative. This episode's focus on high-end night life contrasts with the biker gangs portrayed in The Lost and Damned, whilst giving us a lot of new gameplay possibilities."
The Ballad of Gay Tony stars Luis Lopez, a "part-time hoodlum" and "full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince," better known as "Gay Tony." As usual, he'll have to juggle competing loyalties while also trying to determine who is "real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price."
The latest GTA4 episode will be available on the Xbox 360 this fall for 1600 Microsoft Points ($19.99). In addition, the episode will be available on retail disc titled Episodes from Liberty City, which will also include the first episode Lost and Damned. Episodes from Liberty City will retail for $39.99, and will not require the original game to play.
