Rockstar has announced the follow up to Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories on the PlayStation Portable, with this iteration of mobile carnage taking place in the ever popular Vice City, which was itself the popular sequel to GTA III on the PlayStation 2.

The new game will have a new storyline, doubtlessly with plenty of references back to the PS2 game set in Vice City. In development at Rockstar's Leeds studios, with collaboration from Rockstar North. "Our collaboration with Rockstar Leeds has been a tremendous experience," said Leslie Benzies, President of Rockstar North. "Together we have been able to create uncompromising experiences on the PSP system that not only stay true to our initial vision for the series but that surpasses our own goals of what could be done on a handheld. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories will thrill longtime fans and excite new PSP system gamers like never before."

Let us be the judge of that, eh? Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories will be available exclusively on the PSP in North America on 17 October, 2006 and Europe on 20 October.
