The unannounced Grand Theft Auto VI (which is impossible to not be under development by now…) might include a character that the fans of GTA would recognize immediately.

Carl Johnson, or CJ for short, was the protagonist in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which first came out on PS2 in 2004 and PC/Xbox a year later. (We’d like to link a speedrun here, made with the Microsoft Store version of the game. It didn’t even need half an hour to get to the last portion of the final mission, even with the speedrunner botching up once, losing a few minutes in the process. You can watch the speedrun here. You know something? I take it back. Old Reece still got i- You know something? I take it back. Old Reece still got i-…)

His voice, Chris Bellard wrote the following on Instagram: „To kill the rumours: I’m not involved in Grand Theft Auto VI at all… F__k Rockstar Games, period. CJ will have to be voiced by another mother____er, but not me. I don’t give a ____ what you all heard…” Out of nowhere, he effectively confirmed that even San Andreas could show up in the next (generation) Grand Theft Auto, meaning even its protagonist from the 90s (as San Andreas’ story was set in 1992…) could make a return.

Bellard didn’t leave Rockstar Games peacefully, and he’s not alone, as Ray Liotta and Michael Hollick also had conflicts with the developers. Liotta was heard in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as the voice of Tommy Vercetti, and Hollick gave Niko Bellic, the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto IV, his voice.

The existence of the next Grand Theft Auto is an open secret at this point; publisher Take-Two will make it happen, as Grand Theft Auto V’s Grand Theft Auto Online prints money, which is why there are no single-player DLC.
