With Grand Theft Auto 4's recent release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, it seems like Rockstar Games is looking to capitalize on the popularity of the series even further. Evidence found on the Rockstar website showed a countdown timer for May 23, suggesting that Grand Theft Auto 2 may soon get a release on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.

There was also mention of the Grand Theft Auto London mission pack found on the site. Coupled with the add-ons as well as the original game, it definitely looks like we have more to look forward to from Rockstar in the coming weeks once we've burnt ourselves out gunning down everything in sight as Niko Bellic.

There's been no confirmation so far what exactly the full contents of GTA2 will contain once the timer hits zero, but we'll make sure to keep a close eye out for more details regarding it. Check in with us from time to time for any additional updates regarding this mysterious timer.

*Update* Runor debunked. The countdown turns out to be a y2K bug. See details in this article.

It did, but it sucked.

Not really interested in GTA2 anymore. I remember beating it through about 10 times.

Good, I didn't feel like busting out my Playsta or Dreamcast if I ever wanted to play this again. Online would be fantastic though. Mmmmm flamethrowers vs Elvis gang. -V

Look at the time it was released. Did you expect it to be any better?



Imagine it to today's standards, with some voice chat. Hell yeah.

It's working perfectly on my 360 and the game's awesome. 10/10! I'm honestly not interested in GTA2 though wasn't that on PS1?

I'm not going to pay for it so that I can play it on my PS3.

i've already read about this and this thing has been running for 10 COMPLETE years. It refreshes evry 60 secs and if it's another day it adds one day to the release date. It's NOT true.
