According to sensior industry sources close to a UK trade publication, GTA IV will not be released in March as expected but will be held back until the last week of April. Despite the delay, the release would fall in the Take Two's Q2 period which runs from Februrary until the end of April.
Sources close to the game’s publisher have told MCV that the title’s UK release will miss the Easter period entirely, and will instead go on sale in the final week of Rockstar parent Take 2’s second financial quarter.
That would be in keeping with the company's latest financial statement, which revealed the title would be released in its Q2 period – which runs from February to the end of April.
A Rockstar spokesperson told MCV that the publisher didn’t comment on ‘rumour and speculation’.
If true, the rest of the market will breathe a huge sigh of relief – as they can enjoy the lucrative Easter period without doing battle with one of the biggest releases in recent years.
