Midnight Club: LA slips to October

Rockstar Games today announced a new release date for the fourth installment of its Midnight Club franchise, Midnight Club: Los Angeles.

Now set for release on October 7th in North America and October 10th in Europe, the game, being developed by series creator Rockstar San Diego, will give gamers the freedom to race through a "hyper-realistic" LA.

Rockstar San Diego has, apparently, "created a beautiful rendition of Los Angeles to race through at break neck speeds and explore at your own pace ... With no tracks and no load times, Midnight Club: Los Angeles offers the ultimate freedom to play however you choose".

Midnight Club: LA Remix for the PSP is scheduled for simultaneous release, providing a portable option for Midnight Club fans.

The PSP game is being developed by Rockstar London.
