As Grand Theft Auto 6 approaches its release, fans are eagerly speculating about the return of beloved characters from previous games. While the focus has largely been on new additions like Lucia, players are also hoping for updates on iconic figures from past instalments. With GTA 6 set in Vice City, the return of certain characters would make sense within the game's storyline.

Grand Theft Auto has evolved through different timelines, particularly with the transition into GTA 4. As the 3D Universe is no longer considered canon, it seems more likely that characters from the HD Universe will appear in GTA 6. However, considering past easter eggs, there's still a chance for characters from older titles to make a surprise appearance in new roles.
