It’s official – GTA: San Andreas for iOS and Android has been confirmed for a December launch, putting to rest well over a year of speculation and rumor-mongering.Rockstar made the announcement via its official website, stating that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for mobile will be significantly enhanced and provide full controller support.
And it isn’t just iOS and Android that have been invited to the party either – the full San Andreas experience is also coming to Windows Mobile and the Amazon Kindle Fire range at the same time.
Arguable the greatest game in the entire GTA franchise…excluding perhaps GTA 5…it had been debated for some time whether or not such an ambitious port was even possible. The sheer size of the San Andreas map made it difficult to believe that even Rockstar would be able to pull it off – but pull it off they very much have!
Here’s the full official announcement from the Rockstar Games website:
“Before GTAV took us to the sun-bleached sidewalks and humming concrete freeways of present-day Los Santos and beyond, there was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the biggest GTA of the PS2 era. Now, head back to the early 90s with CJ and the Grove Street Families when Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas comes to mobile devices next month.
“Encompassing Los Santos, San Fierro, Las Venturas and everything in between, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has been upgraded for its mobile release. Newly remastered graphics including dynamic and detailed shadows, greater draw distance, an enriched color palette, plus enhanced character and car models make this the best-looking version of San Andreas yet.
“Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas also features brand new touch controls including contextual control options to display buttons only when you need them and three different control schemes for driving and maneuvering, as well as a reworked checkpoint system for easier progression. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for mobile also comes equipped with full controller support, including Made for iOS controller capability on iOS7. It will be available for select iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle and Windows Mobile devices. Stay tuned for more details in the weeks ahead.”
