When Grand Theft Auto IV was pushed back from its original October date last year, gamers were devastated. Though Rock Star gave a tentative “February-April 2008” release, some weren’t sure if the game would even make it out before the holiday season this year. However, today Rock Star sent us an email with one simple message:

 

That’s right: on April 29, the Grand Theft Auto series returns with its first entry in the new generation of consoles.

The full press release, as follows:

New York, NY - January 24, 2008 - Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.
