Posting on the company's official Twitter feed, Rockstar Games has announced that the PSP version of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will hit stores October 20.

Immediately following the confirmed release date, the company reiterated that the game will hit both retail and digital storefronts. Come October 20, you can either walk to a store and buy a UMD or download it from the PlayStation Store.

No screenshots have yet appeared of the PSP version in action, though Rockstar assures that first footage of the game is coming soon.

The initial release of Chinatown Wars on DS leveraged the touchscreen extensively, prompting questions as to how a single-screened PSP port will be controlled.

Along with the new interface and overhauled presentation, new story missions are being promised. Where these additionally scenarios fit into the game is unknown, but they do provide an incentive for going back to Chinatown if you've already played through the DS version.
