5 GTA characters that Rockstar should bring back in GTA 6

1) Michael De Santa

If there is someone who immediately needs to return to the Grand Theft Auto series, it's Michael De Santa. Fans have been asking Rockstar for his return in GTA Online for ages. After the end of the GTA 5 campaign, Michael disappeared from the canon storyline.

If the developer doesn't want to bring him back in the current game, it should be done in GTA 6.

2) Jerry Kapowitz

Jerry Kapowitz is a strong contender to return to GTA 6. While he was a side character in the GTA 4 storyline, Jerry found the diamonds at the end and decided to move to Vice City.

Many fans still remember this plotline to date. So, Rockstar Games should consider continuing his story in the upcoming game. Jerry Kapowitz has the potential to be one of the major mission providers in Vice City.

3) Elizabeta Torres

Elizabeta Torres from GTA 4 had the potential to be one of the strongest female characters in the series. However, her journey was cut short when the LCPD raided her house, caught her, and sent her to prison.

It’s been many years since Elizabeta was in prison, serving her sentence. Rockstar Games should consider continuing her lore by bringing her back in Grand Theft Auto 6. Including her as one of the prisonmates of Lucia Caminos will be the icing on the cake.

4) Benny

Benny is one of the most important characters in Grand Theft Auto Online, offering unique customization options for various vehicles. However, after the introduction of Hao’s Special Works garage, Rockstar seemed to have forgotten about Benny. The last car that can be customized in Benny’s Original Motor Works was released in November 2022.

If Rockstar Games does not want to continue Benny’s story in the current multiplayer game, he should be added to GTA 6.

5) Cris Formage

Cris Formage is the leader of the Epsilon Program in GTA 5. The cult group is expected to return in the upcoming game, and the character should return to spread its influence. Cris was never physically seen in Los Santos after Michael De Santa completes The Truth mission series.

Therefore, Rockstar Games can easily bring him back to Vice City in GTA 6. The Epsilon Program has been running in the series for a long time, and should be continued in the future.
