Well-known developer Rockstar Games has just announced it will bring one of the oldest games in the Grand Theft Auto franchise, San Andreas to mobile devices.

According to Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will be available for Android, iOS, Amazon Kindle and Windows Phone, sometime in December.

“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.”

The game has been confirmed to feature new touch controls, such as contextual control options to display buttons only when players need them, as well as no less than three different control schemes for driving and maneuvering a vehicle.

Grand Theft Auto fans will be happy to know Rockstar announced San Andreas for mobile devices will come with a reworked checkpoint system for easier progression.

Furthermore, developers claim the game has been upgraded for its mobile release with newly remastered graphics.

Dynamic and detailed shadows, greater draw distance, an enriched color palette, plus enhanced character and car models are just some of the improvements added in the mobile version of San Andreas.

“Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for mobile also comes equipped with full controller support, including Made for iOS controller capability on iOS7,” said Rockstar in a press release.

Although Rockstar did not offer details on the exact release date of the next Grand Theft Auto game for mobile devices, the developer did say it will provide more info on the matter in the coming weeks. We will keep an eye out for new info on this one, so stay tuned.
