There are still many unknowns about Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated game GTA 6. However, some fans are wondering whether GTA 5 characters such as Michael or Franklin will appear in the new game.
GTA 6 is expected to be released in the fall of 2025. It has been officially confirmed that the game will be set in Vice City and follow a couple committing crimes in a Bonnie and Clyde style story. It is stated that the female protagonist’s name is Lucia and the male character may be Jason.
Will There Be Familiar Faces in GTA 6?
The GTA series is considered an anthology series, and each game offers new stories with new characters in different environments. However, there are still links to previous games for eagle-eyed fans. For example, GTA 4 character Packie returned in GTA 5 as an optional heist team member.
So, will we see familiar faces in GTA 6? This seems quite possible! Rockstar Games especially likes to bring side characters to new games. However, it does not seem possible that Tommy Vercetti, the main character of GTA: Vice City, will appear in GTA 6.
It is known that GTA 5 actors Ned Luke (Michael), Shawn Fonteno (Franklin) and Steven Ogg (Trevor) had a better experience with Rockstar Games. It seems more likely that these actors will appear in GTA 6 in some way. Michael is now a big movie producer, so he can take part in a movie shoot in Vice City. Franklin can visit Vice City for vacation or business.
However, these potential returning characters are unlikely to play a major role in the GTA 6 story. Judging by Rockstar’s past experience, the focus will likely be on Lucia and Jason. In any case, this is information that Rockstar will likely keep locked until the game hits players’ hands in the fall of 2025.
