Who knows if I even am in it, or not?"
By Eddie Makuch on
Actor Ned Luke, who played Michael in GTA V, recently appeared on Larry Lawton's YouTube show, and the interview began with a bang. Lawton introduced Luke as «Michael from Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto VI.» This would be a pretty big reveal, as so far, there have been zero actors or characters confirmed for GTA VI so far beyond Lucia.
The camera then cuts back to Luke, who is sporting an extremely shocked face. Luke attempts to clarify the situation, saying, «I'm not in… we don't… GTA 6 is unknown things right now. Just to make that clear.»

Now Playing: Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA VI) Trailer Breakdown
Luke went on to say that Lawton, a former real-life jewel thief who spent time in prison and is now a motivational speaker, «had a senior moment.»
Later in the interview, Luke expanded on his involvement or lack thereof in GTA VI, leaving the door open for it being a possibility. «Who knows if I even am in it, or not? Historically, you would say no, because they never re-use the protagonists,» he said. «I still have the NDA that I'm under. So even if knew anything I couldn't say anything. I'd have to kill you.»
Luke played Michael De Santa in GTA V. He was one of three playable protagonists, with Steven Ogg portraying Trevor and Shawn Fonteno playing Franklin.
It would be an interesting development indeed if Michael, Trevor, or Franklin appeared in GTA VI. GTA V, after all, had three endings, one of which culminated with Michael's death. Another ending saw all three survive. Fans believe this may be the canon ending, but Rockstar has never confirmed this.
Another possibility is that Luke could play a different character in GTA VI, if he is indeed in the game. But he might not be. We'll have to wait until Rockstar provides more details on GTA VI's story. For now, all we know is the narrative follows a character named Lucia and another person, who may be romantically involved with Lucia. They both seem to like robbing people, which tracks with the rumor that GTA VI may focus on heists.
GTA VI is launching in 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A PC release could come later but it's not confirmed.

Just the other day, we had reported on the admiration Ned Luke had for Grand Theft Auto 6’s trailer, and his high hopes for one of its lead characters, Lucia. However, Ned knows about Lucia’s haters too, and he has some choice words for them.
The GTA 5 voice actor behind Michael de Santa has offered his advice to the GTA 6 cast, urging them to enjoy their '15 minutes of fame', and make the most of the fandom's enthusiasm.
Michael De Santa is one of the most fully fleshed out characters in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. A former crook who feels disconnected from his spoiled, wealthy family, Michael struggles with a desire to relive his ‘glory days’ and finding peace and solace with his estranged loved ones. As relatable as Michael’s story can be at some points, it’s hard to see him as a good person, though one can believe he is trying to become one.
GTA 5's Michael reckons GTA 6's tone looks like it's hitting a blend of the fourth and fifth games in Rockstar's series.
GTA 6's reveal trailer showed that we'll be playing as a woman called Lucia in Rockstar's hotly-anticipated sequel. There was a lot of outrage, with some gamers decrying that the series had gone "woke", swearing off GTA once and for all. Now, Michael De Santa himself has spoken up, calling out the detractors.
Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is one of the bigger releases this month and the first follow-up in the series since 2010’s Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. Publications like Game Informer went hands-on with the title before launch, revealing nearly 20 minutes of action-packed gameplay. Check it out below.
The gaming world is buzzing with anticipation as Rockstar Games teases fans with the prospect of GTA 6. Since the release of the first official trailer, enthusiasts have been engrossed in a debate about the identity of Lucia, one of the game's protagonists. This trend mirrors the past excitement when fans swiftly identified Ned Luke as Michael De Santa in GTA 5 shortly after its trailer release. The biggest mystery surrounds the Lucia voice in GTA 6
Ned Luke, the actor best known for portraying Micheal de Danta in Grand Theft Auto 5, has been swatted for the second time in two months while livestreaming his playthrough of GTA 5.
An ex-Rockstar Games developer has explained why GTA 3's protagonist, Claude, never spoke in the game despite being surrounded by very talkative characters.
Along with announcing 13 million players for Starfield to date, Bethesda Game Studios revealed its post-launch plans for the title heading into 2024. It already confirmed “all-new ways” to travel and city maps, and starting in February, it will target updates roughly every six weeks. They will add new features and content with quality-of-life improvements.
Today Bethesda posted a recap of the year Starfield has had in the form of a few fun facts: in 2023 players visited a collective 1.9 billion planets, spent 26 million hours building ships, and ate more than 18 million battlemeal multipacks. (Weirdly, no sandwich tally was provided.)
In what looks like its last Starfield post for the year, Bethesda's committed to big changes for the RPG in 2024, revisiting promised quality-of-life features and doubling down on new gameplay options ahead of the RPG's first confirmed expansion, Shattered Space.
