Eurogamer has a few sources from Rockstar North that keep them informed when it comes to all things GTA. A while back, word had hit the net that the GTA IV DLC wouldn’t be landing on the Live Marketplace until January. According to Eurogamer, that date is actually sometime in November.
They had more to say from about their source and his or her tidings… game length and development costs were in the ranks.
“The content, which is “absolutely exclusive” to Xbox 360, will be made up of at least two episodes around 10 hours in length, complete with extra unlockable Achievements. Speculation on what form it will take has ranged from additional cities to developed side-missions with brand new stories to unravel. There’s been no mention of what all this will cost.
However, the exclusive episodic deal is said to have cost Microsoft around USD 50 million. The company took great trouble to make sure everybody knew about the content in the run up to Grand Theft Auto IV’s April release.” —Eurogamer
