By “It might be released later this year”

There’s a sense of letdown due to Rockstar’s recent GTA 6 postponement, but a circulating whisper implies that the developer might have another GTA-related plan under its belt for the interim.
As per Tez2, the reputable Rockstar leaker, a modern-gen port of Grand Theft Auto IV is reportedly under progress. It has been noted that this fresh version of GTA 4 has been under construction for more than a year, and we “might witness its release later this year”.
The source further remarks that a Max Payne 3 port could be next, which could possibly pair nicely with Remedy’s forthcoming version of Max Payne 1+2 which has been verified to be under development by the studio from Finland. The GTA 4 and Max Payne 3 ports are still considered rumors at the moment, and considering the ambiguity of the prior statement, it might be wise to keep your hopes in check for the time being until we get official word from Rockstar.
It’s crucial to recall that nearly three years back, the same source disclosed that GTA 4 and Red Dead Redemption remasters were previously in Rockstar’s plans – before getting axed. However, we have observed a novel port for Red Dead on other platforms lately, and it might be that the team is mulling over a parallel initiative for the 2008 GTA edition.
