Rockstar has revealed more details regarding The Ballad of Gay Tony, the next DLC episode of GTA IV.

Details of the storyline were revealed back in May, as you follow the role of Luis Lopez an assistant to nightclub owner Tony Prince aka Gay Tony.

Dan Houser co-founder of Rockstar Games has confirmed he wants to make this episode resemble an action film of sorts, according to USA Today.

"We definitely wanted it to feel more like the way action films are when they get ridiculous," Houser said.

"Suddenly you're lifting up train cars with helicopters and it looks amazing and ridiculous, and after what you've gone through in the past, you're like, 'wow, this is a really good payoff for completing this journey.' "

At one point of the game you will parachute onto a skyscraper from a helicopter, as you aim to eliminate a target inside the building. While another mission will see Luis jump onto a subway train and unhook a carriage before a helicopter emerges to lift away the prized possession.

Along with being launched on Xbox LIVE, both Lost and The Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony will release on a retail disc on 29 October. The first screenshots for the DLC were also revealed yesterday.
