Take-Two Interactive today announced that it had 20 games in development for the PS3, with more than seven titles from Rockstar Games - including Grand Theft Auto IV which is expected to be in European stores on 19 October 2007. Other Rockstar Games products include new original titles such as L.A. Noire, and other extensions of blockbuster Rockstar Games franchises.

When the PS3 system launches today, Take-Two's 2K Sports publishing label will deliver NBA 2K7 and NHL 2K7 - the only third party NBA and NHL titles available at the launch of the PS3 system.

Additionally 2K and 2K Sports plan to publish more than 11 additional titles for the PS3 system and other sports titles based on 2K Sports proprietary brands, as well as additional high profile licensed and original new franchises from 2K.

"We applaud Sony for helping raise the bar in the next generation of gaming. As the hardware transitions to the next generation, Take-Two is working hard to position itself to emerge as a leading next generation publisher, with our focus on delivering quality titles and harnessing technologies like Sony's cell processors and blu-ray storage capacity, as well as its proprietary SIXAXIS wireless controller. We're not asking gamers to wait until we can evolve into the technologies. From day-one, our development team will astonish gamers with the fullest, deepest and most entertaining titles on the market." - Paul Eibeler, Take-Two's President and Chief Executive Officer.
