Get ready, because you might have a reason to revisit Grand Theft Auto’s chaotic world. Alongside new leads Jason and Lucia, fans think they’ve spotted a familiar face. While the Nintendo Switch 2 version gets its own extras, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC players will also access surprises via a “low-priced” DLC.

The Grand Theft Auto series has made its mark not only through massive open worlds but also through its unforgettable characters. As Jason and Lucia prepare to take center stage in GTA 6 and push its crime drama into deeper territory, longtime fans noticed what looks like a nostalgic nod to a legendary figure. Could this be a hidden return?

The latest GTA 6 trailer, dropped without warning by Rockstar, unleashed a storm of fan theories. Between new characters and world-building, one moment caught the attention of some veteran players: a familiar face. He’s a recurring character in the series, appearing in Vice City, Vice City Stories, Liberty City Stories, and GTA 3.

This figure is described as a deranged war veteran and arms dealer. But something’s different—he shows up in the trailer with both arms intact, contradicting his depiction during the 3D era. Rockstar seems to have kept the 3D and HD GTA universes either separate or loosely linked. At 2:09 in the trailer, you can spot him on Jason and Lucia’s television, still displaying that trademark wild persona.

This cameo may indicate that Rockstar is reimagining the character. Some fans believe he might be a relative—perhaps a son—or it’s a complete reboot, especially given that the original version would be well into his seventies in the GTA 6 timeline. This is likely just one of many surprises Rockstar Games has hidden in its upcoming open-world behemoth. Don’t miss our deep dive into everything we know so far about GTA 6.
