Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition - which one could assume would contain remastered versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, and San Andreas - has been rated by Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee.
This rating was spotted by those like @Nibellion on Twitter, and it appears to confirm Kotaku's report from August 2021 that said these remasters - all of which would be remastered in Unreal Engine - are on their way to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, Stadia, mobile devices, and even the Nintendo Switch.
Kotaku noted that these games were in their "final stages of development" and would use a mix of "new and old graphics." It was also said that the COVID-19 pandemic had shifted Rockstar's plans to release this collection, and that it originally planned on releasing them as a "thank you gift" for those who purchased the next-gen ports of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Now, with the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version of GTA V and GTA Online delayed to March 2022, Rockstar may be getting ready to release them a bit sooner. It's important to note that things could change and this doesn't mean this collection's release is imminent, but it should give some hope to those who would love to play these classic GTA games with some modern upgrades.
That being said, Kotaku's report did say that the trilogy would be released "around late October or early November," so it also could be just around the corner.
