GTA IVGrand Theft Auto IV hit shelves on April 29th of 2008, that's only a few months more than half a year ago.  Yet here we are, looking at the possibility of another entry into the console line of Grand Theft Auto.

The news comes from a tiny bit of issue #190 of Game Informer, a popular print magazine.  Seems that they have been privvy to information that points to a new GTA by the end of 2009.  This does not, according to the folks at GI, have anything to do with the DLC that's coming out this year.  This is a completely new game.

From issue #190 of Game Informer via Kombo.com: "We're not talking about new DLC or a collection of previously available DLC, we're talking about a full retail game. We expect this title to follow the suit of previous GTAs and use a subtitle such as GTA: San Andreas, etc. Tokyo might be a possible setting for the game, but details are non-existent at this time."

GTA: Tokyo?  Seems incredibly intriguing.  To add some validity to this yet-to-be-confirmed rumor, take a look back to previous GTA games and their release dates; especially one's with subtitles like San Andreas.  These games came out in quick succession of their engine forming ancestors.  By quick succession, I mean within a year.  That truly doesn't push this supposedly soon-coming GTA sequel out of the realm of possibility.
