I’m reporting this one straight down the middle: Rockstar have sent word that the second Xbox 360 exclusive episode will shift Liberty City’s perspective from bikers (as with the original Lost and the Damned episode) to balladeers, with the “fall” release of The Ballad of Gay Tony.

Rockstar say this episode will see players take the role of “Luis Lopez, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (aka ‘Gay Tony’),” taking on a “struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price.”

As a side note, for the the ragtag handful of people that don’t already own the original Grand Theft Auto, both episodes will be combined on a retail disc at release called Episodes from Liberty City, which won’t require the original game to complete.
