According to USA Today, the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV DLC - a new episode titled The Lost and Damned - will arrive on the 17th February 2009.

DLC for GTA IV was initially announced back at E3 2008, with a release date of November 2008. However, earlier this month reports came out that it looked like it will be delayed, and this confirms it.

The Lost and Damned focuses on a new character called Johnny Klebitz, a member of Liberty City biker gang, The Lost, with the anti-hero, Niko Bellic, only playing a small role. Dan Houser, vice president of creative development for Rockstar Games, gave some insight into the new content:

Johnny is a very different character than Niko, with a very different background... I can't go into too much detail on the story, because we try not to give away too much plot before the game is released. But I can say that the story will show you a different side of Liberty City.

The new episode is expected to add hours of gameplay. There's no mention of pricing but expect it around the 1600 MS Points mark.
