The first exclusive downloadable content for the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV will be released on 17th February according to a story by  USA Today.

Titled The Lost and Damned it will  star Johnny Klebitz, a member of the Liberty City biker gang The Lost. GTA IV’s main protagonist, Niko, will only have a bit-part in the episode.

"Johnny is a very different character than Niko, with a very different background," said Rockstar bossman Dan Houser.

"I can’t go into too much detail on the story, because we try not to give away too much plot before the game is released. But I can say that the story will show you a different side of Liberty City." Houser also added, "Tons of details and mysteries from the main story get explained, so it will add a lot of colour to the main story."

Rockstar has yet to announce a price for the DLC, though we imagine the release date will apply worldwide as is usually the case with Xbox Live.
