Grand Theft Auto V Legacy News

While Rockstar has started up the GTA 6 hype train this week, some new comments from Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick seem to suggest the likelihood of us getting a film or TV adaptation based on the series any time soon are pretty slim.

When first I played GTA Online back in the Xbox 360 days it felt like an afterthought, a chance to play some random good-for-nothing in GTA 5's sizzling alt-Los Angeles, securely cloistered away from the events of the all-important singleplayer story. Having built yourself a no-name crim, you galloped around cranking out cash and XP by means of glorified sidequests handed down by headliners such as Lamar. Skip forward to 2023, and as Alice0 observed when we discussed Rockstar's GTA 6 announcements this morning, GTA Online is effectively an MMO with ten years of updates, expansions and community projects under its belt. The no-name crim has become the star attraction.

With a reveal of the long-awaited GTA 6 potentially imminent, the voice actor behind GTA 5’s Michael has responded to a fan asking whether the character could be in for a return in the series’ next entry in rather coy fashion.

Following a report that claimed Rockstar could be planning to announce the game as soon as this week, before putting out a trailer in December, chatter about the game among fans on social media has naturally reached fever pitch. Some have even gone as far as wondering aloud whether their favourite characters from previous GTAs might play some kind of role in the new game.

One such fan on Twitter has asked actor Ned Luke, who provided the dulcet tones of GTA 5’s Michael De Santa, whether Los Santos’ most infamous angry dad will be coming back in some fashion in GTA 6. Luke decided to respond by simply declaring: “It’s a mystery”, followed by five star emojis.
