GTA 3 Coming to Android, iOS "This Fall"

Rockstar is bringing its classic Grand Theft Auto III game to specific iOS and Android devices, possibly next week.

Thursday Rockstar Games said that Grand Theft Auto III will be heading to select Android and iOS devices sometime "this fall." However, there's a good chance the game will be released on October 22, as that's the date the original Grand Theft Auto III game landed on the PlayStation 2, Xbox, Windows PC and Mac OS back in 2001.

"10 years ago, this month, the revolutionary open-world epicGrand Theft Auto III was released to the world – a game that set players loose as a small-time criminal at the bottom of the food chain in Liberty City, a sprawling metropolis where anything can happen – and probably will," the studio said Thursday.

For now the game is slated to land on eleven devices: the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S for Apple's iOS, the Droid X2, HTC Evo 2, LG Optimus X2, Motorola Atrix and Samsung Galaxy S2 for Android smartphones front, and the Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad, Motorola Zoom and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for Android tablets.

Rockstar also said that beginning Thursday, a limited-edition action figure of lead character Claude, created by collectible manufacturer Sideshow, will be available for pre-order in limited quantities at theRockstar Warehouse. This figure costs $149.99, but Social Club members have an opportunity to get one for free. Head here and fill out the entry form by this Sunday October 16th for a chance to be one of three lucky winners.
