Story

Life is complicated; I killed people, smuggled people, sold people. Perhaps here, things will be different. -- Niko Bellic


Grand Theft Auto IV is set in 2008 in a redesigned Liberty City, a stylized recreation of New York City. Niko Bellic is an Eastern European (Serbian) that has come to America to find a better life, following the advice of his cousin Roman; however, when he arrives, he finds that Roman has been lying - he isn't rich, he isn't popular, and he's actually in a load of trouble. Niko has been duped to solve Roman's problems, and soon ends up in trouble himself. However, we soon find out that Niko isn't here in Liberty City just because of the supposed fortune and hot babes; he has ulterior motives...

Episodes

Two Episodes have been announced for GTA IV for the Xbox 360 only. The Lost and Damned was released in early 2009, and features biker Johnny Klebitz. The second episode has not yet been named, but it planned for release in the 2nd half of 2009. These episodes are set in the same Liberty City as GTA IV, and have many overlapping storlines, characters and missions.
