Reports indicate that Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV will be released April 25 in the UK, rather than in March as initially expected. This date would stay true to Take Two’s recently released financial statement, which revealed that the title would be released in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.

Assuming this rumor is fact, then we can expect GTA IV to be released in the US during the week of April 25 as well if history is any indication. Previous GTA titles reached the US less than a few days before releasing in Europe.
