GTA 6: Fans Speculate the Return of Familiar Faces from GTA 4
Some Grand Theft Auto 6 fans believe that certain characters from GTA 4 could make a return in the highly anticipated sequel, and their theories are supported by some interesting evidence. After all, it’s not unusual for GTA characters to reappear in later titles. For example, few would be surprised if the iconic radio host Lazlow Jones made an unexpected comeback in GTA 6.
As a well-established fictional universe with its own lore, the GTA series thrives on the interconnectedness of its games. This is often showcased through recurring characters, adding depth and nostalgia to the series. Some characters, like Johnny Klebitz from GTA 4’s The Lost and Damned, met grim fates, while others, such as Lazlow, have made regular appearances across multiple titles. It’s likely GTA 6 will continue this tradition, and fans are already speculating about potential returns, including the possible reappearance of GTA 5’s Lester Crest.
Recent fan theories have centered on a few notable characters from GTA 4. One idea, proposed by Ryder S. on Twitter, revolves around Jerry Kapowitz, the homeless man who stumbled upon stolen diamonds in GTA 4 and decided to move to Vice City. His inclusion in GTA 6, even as a minor cameo, would be a fitting nod to the series’ rich history.
Another, more speculative theory hinges on the belief that actress Manni L. Perez is voicing Lucia, one of GTA 6’s main protagonists. Reddit user brocrown noticed that Perez follows Mario D’Leon – the actor behind Luis Lopez from The Ballad of Gay Tony – on Instagram, and vice versa. This small detail was enough for fans to theorize that Luis Lopez could also return in GTA 6, further strengthening the game’s ties to its predecessors.
GTA 6 Fan Theories: Are Characters from GTA 4 Returning?
The GTA community has long enjoyed speculating about what future installments in the series might bring. While guessing which side characters could return is fun, fans still know very little about GTA 6’s main characters, Lucia and Jason. Jason, in particular, received even less focus than Lucia in the reveal trailer, leading many players to hope for more information about him when the next trailer drops.
Although fan theories can sometimes feel like wishful thinking, Rockstar has a track record of reintroducing familiar characters in new GTA games. This strategy could be particularly useful for GTA 6, given that GTA 5 was first released 11 years ago. To help bridge this significant time gap, the developers might include more recognizable faces than usual. Regardless, GTA 6’s story is likely to surprise players in numerous ways, featuring a diverse and memorable cast of characters.
