Never a publisher to shy away from controversy or hype, Rockstar Games sent out a rather self-explanatory e-mail earlier today with a single JPEG attached which spelled out the news: the first trailer for the eagerly anticipated next-gen GTA will be officially unveiled at the end of the month at Rockstar's official website for Grand Theft Auto IV.


While fans on message boards are already feverishly speculating and drawing up GTA IV wish lists, March 29th should open up another full-fledged freak-out about the new game's content. We'll throw our hats in the collective ring and say that we suspect that the game will allow players to commit a lot of felonies in an open-ended environment. More information can be found at Rockstar's website.

Grand Theft Auto IV will release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in October.
