News: GTA goes on the 'Go' with the PSP this Fall.

Rockstar has announced they will be bringing the formerly DS-exclusive Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars to the PSP this Fall. The game will be developed by Rockstar Leeds (the team behind the DS version and the PSP's previously released GTA games) and it will be released through retail stores on UMD and made available as a download through the PlayStation Network.

The PSP version of Chinatown Wars is said to "take full advantage of the power of the PSP system" by offering upscaled widescreen graphics, enhanced lighting and animation and all-new story missions.

"We're proud to extend this truly unique handheld Grand Theft Auto experience to PSP and offer a downloadable version of Chinatown Wars for PSPgo," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "Rockstar Leeds has shown incredible talent in creating games that raise the bar in terms of depth and innovation on portables, and with Chinatown Wars we have a rich, fast-paced, and incredibly addictive entry into the series."

In case you missed it the first time around on the DS, Chinatown Wars will follow the story of Huang Lee, a young member of the Triad gang:

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars follows the story of Huang Lee, a young Triad who travels to Liberty City after the mysterious death of his father. Within the game, players will navigate their way through the streets as they uncover the truth behind an epic tale of crime and corruption within the Triad crime syndicate, delivering the unprecedented amount of depth that has become a true trademark of the franchise.

We'll have more soon.
