Update: Following a vague reveal at E3, Rockstar Games just sent over a press release detailing its upcoming DS title Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, accompanied with the game’s official logo.

Scheduled for a Winter release in North America and Europe, the game is development at Rockstar Leeds, the same studio responsible for the PSP iterations of GTA.

“This is a game that will deliver a rich, fast-paced and intense ‘Grand Theft Auto’ experience that will be truly unique to Nintendo’s handheld platform,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “Rockstar Leeds, along with the team at Rockstar North, has built upon a decade of progressive design on Grand Theft Auto, and has created something fundamentally fresh and immersive.”

An entirely original entry into the crime-laden series, Chinatown Wars promises to deliver a “new level of interactivity” utilizing the DS touch screen.

Rockstar is planning to reveal much more on Chinatown Wars in the “very near future.”

Original Story: Nintendo announced that a brand-new GTA game entitled Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be hitting the Nintendo DS.

No specific details on the title were provided, aside from the fact that it is being developed from the ground-up for DS, complete with an all-new city and characters. Expect more information soon.
