Rockstar: GTA IV On Track for October

You might have heard rumors that Rockstar would purposely delay the release of Grand Theft Auto IV to make way for the release of Halo 3 later this year. Those statements have now been rebuked by Rockstar.

The rumors stemmed from an analyst report that Rockstar might look at delaying GTA IV until November, so as the release of the title would not be overshadowed by that of Halo 3, which will be the biggest game release thus far on the Xbox 360.

Kikizo contacted the company though and were told that the latest installment of GTA is still on track for a release in "late October". While of course there is nothing to stop them from still delaying the date, this should put the rumors/analysts comments in perspective.
