Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned is the first of two episodic expansion packs for Grand Theft Auto IV, developed by Rockstar North and released in 2009 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The game introduces a new protagonist, Johnny Klebitz, the Vice President of the Alderney chapter of The Lost MC, an outlaw motorcycle club categorized as a one-percenter organization. Players experience Liberty City through Klebitz's perspective as he navigates the criminal world surrounding the club, which had already featured in missions throughout the base game. Spanning shooter, racing, and adventure gameplay across the familiar open-world setting of Liberty City, the expansion was designed to present a distinctly different side of that environment, offering a fresh narrative lens on the same city depicted in Grand Theft Auto IV.
