According to a reputed leaker, Tony Prince could be making his return to GTA Online.

TezFunz2, better known as Tez2, has recently suggested this after Rockstar's big announcement. Today, the company revealed that the GTA Trilogy is on the way. GTA Online also has a release date for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Interestingly, Rockstar states that a few familiar faces will return to GTA Online.

Tony Prince has been a recurring character ever since the After Hours update in 2018. Due to recent events, he could be making his presence known once again. GTA Online players might also have more nightclub missions in store for them.

This has major implications for GTA Online. First of all, businesses like the nightclub will have relevancy again. Secondly, this will give players a brief glimpse into the next update. Tony Prince obviously has a role to play here.

Tez2 has some inside knowledge of GTA Online. He expects a future update in regards to the nightclub feature. Keep in mind that Tony Prince is a key player in this industry. Here is a tweet explaining it in full detail:

This could mean there will be new contract missions for the nightclubs. There could also be major updates to the business itself (such as new music tracks). Tez2 believes it will happen sooner rather than later. With each passing minute, it looks like Tony Prince could show up again.

It's unknown if the recent news refers to other businesses, such as the Diamond Casino and Resort.

While Tony Prince is still active with the nightclub scene, his former bodyguard is nowhere to be seen. GTA Online has yet to resolve the fate of Luis Lopez. His picture can be found in Tony's office. However, this minor cameo is the extent of his appearance.

Rockstar did promise the return of familiar friends. Of course, they could probably be referring to only GTA Online characters. Tez2 makes no mention of Luis, so players shouldn't expect him back anytime soon.
