It looks like Microsoft has finally given us a release window for the first episode of the Xbox 360 exclusive DLC that we were promised long ago. In a statement made to IGN at Leipzig, a Microsoft rep confirmed that we would be able to get our hands on some downloadable episodic goodness this fall.

“In autumn there will be news from Liberty City; the first episodes of GTA IV will be available for download exclusively on Xbox LIVE, underlining Xbox 360’s leadership role in the field of digital entertainment.”

We don’t have a date yet, but as autumn gets closer, our excitement for the release of this DLC will likely go through the roof. Let’s just hope there are no more delays after a hint like this.
