Published at 5:20 AM PST

Last night, Sony announced the next PlayStation Portable: PlayStation NGP (next generation portable) and also released a list of developers who are currently working on games for the portable. Among the list of developers under the Europe section was Rockstar so we're assuming it's Rockstar Leeds. It'll be interesting to see what Rockstar Leeds will be able of pull off on this new PSP seeing as how Sony showed off PlayStation 3 games running natively on this powerful little device.
