Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City Gets Delayed - IGN (original) (raw)

Back when downloadable content was first announced for Grand Theft Auto IV, PlayStation 3 and PC fans collectively wept at news that the two stories were exclusive downloads for Xbox 360. Then, about two years later, news that a disc-based version of "The Lost and Damned" and "The Ballad of Gay Tony" for both 360 and PS3 broke and fans rejoiced. Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City was supposed to be here on the PS3 this month.
Now, it's not coming in March anymore.

Due to what Rockstar is calling "a request by Sony Europe to make some minor content changes to the PAL PS3 version of the game," Episodes from Liberty City won't hit the PS3 and PC until April 13 in North America and April 16 in all other countries.

"Despite our best efforts to work through this quickly, the two weeks were needed to complete submission," a Rockstar release said. "We understand and sympathize with the fans that will be upset by this delay. We want to assure our fans that the minor changes made to the game will not affect the gamers' enjoyment of the games, these will not affect any gameplay elements and were not related to any local ratings requirements."

GTA IV followed Niko as an up-and-coming bad guy in Liberty City, but The Lost and the Damned follows a biker named Johnny "The Jew" Klebitz while the Ballad of Gay Tony casts you as a body guard named Luis Lopez. All three games let you steal cars, shoot people, and have a simply wonderful time.
