The '''Grand Theft Auto IV Era''' refers to | The '''Grand Theft Auto IV Era''' refers to a canonical era of [[Grand Theft Auto|Grand Theft Auto games]], which includes [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], its two expansion packs ([[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]), and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]. All GTA IV Era games are set in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. They all take place in the [[Universes|HD Universe]], as designated by Rockstar. | ||
These games are grouped together mainly because they have interlinking characters, storylines, and locations, specifically GTA IV's rendition of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] and the state of [[Alderney]]. This is also known as the fourth generation of GTA games released from [[2008]] to [[2010]]. With a few exceptions (most notably dialogue by radio host [[Lazlow Jones|Lazlow]] on [[Integrity 2.0]] which makes frequent references to locations in earlier games, and the use of some footage from [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] in some TV programmes), the GTA IV games are not considered to exist in the same "universe" or continuity as any of the games of the [[GTA III Era]]. | |||
[[Grand Theft Auto V]] starts a new era, but is part of the same [[Universe]] as the GTA IV Era. This means that some characters, businesses and some storylines ''could'' cross over into the new era. However, the vast majority of features and characters will not appear in the GTA V Era. | |||

The game focuses on the [[Algonquin Triads|Triads]], and protagonist [[Huang Lee]], the twenty-five year old nephew of Lee Family head [[Wu Lee]].
