Summary
SomeGrand Theft Auto 6fans are convinced that severalGTA 4characters may return in the anticipated sequel, and the claims are actually backed up by some evidence. Besides, it’s not that uncommon for existingGTAcharacters to reprise their roles in newer games. Hardly anyone would be surprised if, for instance, Lazlow Jones makes a sudden return inGrand Theft Auto 6.
As an established fictional universe with its own mythology,GTAbenefits from the interconnectedness of its games, which is best expressed through the diverse and memorable cast of characters reprising their roles. Some of them, like Johnny Klebitz fromGTA 4’sThe Lost and Damned, weren’t treated to particularly happy endings; others keep reappearing regularly like the radio host Lazlow Jones.GTA 6will probably reintroduce some familiar faces to honor the tradition, too, and some fans are speculating thatGTA 5’s Lester Crest might have been teasedfor a return.
The latest fan theories about the returningGTAcharacters are focused on a few ones fromGTA 4. The first hypothesis, proposed by Ryder S. on Twitter, is about Jerry Kapowitz. Jerry was the lucky homeless man who obtained stolen diamonds inGTA 4and decided to move to Vice City shortly after. Hispotential reappearance inGTA 6would be a nice touch, even if reduced to a small cameo. The second speculation, a little far-fetched, is built on the assumption that the actress Manni L. Perez is voicing and portraying Lucia, one of theGTA 6’s protagonists. As noticed by Redditor brocrown, Perez and Mario D’Leon, the actor behind Luis Lopez fromGTA 4’sThe Ballad of Gay Tony, follow each other on Instagram. This discovery was enough for fans to believe that Luis Lopez may also return inGTA 6.
Grand Theft Auto 6 Fans Believe Some GTA 4 Characters Are Coming Back
TheGTAcommunity has always been passionate about theorizing what new games in the franchise may have in store for them. However, while speculating on which side characters could make a comeback is entertaining, players are yet tolearn 6’s protagonists, Lucia and Jason. The latter has been given even less attention in the reveal trailer than his co-star, so many fans are expecting to discover additional details when the next trailer eventually lands.
While fan theories do sometimes resemble wishful thinking, Rockstar is historically known for bringing back existing characters for newGTAinstallments. This approach may be especially beneficial forGTA 6, consideringGTA 5’s initial release was 11 years ago. To bridge this massive time gap, the devs may even go as far as bringing back more recognizable faces than usual. In any case,GTA 6’s story will probably surprise playersin many ways, including a motley cast of characters.
