Grand Theft Auto 6 is going to feature a female protagonist, but it isn't going "woke" because of it, according to the man who voiced one of the main characters in the previous entry in the series.

Story details for 's canceled story DLC have emerged, and it sounds like it would have leaned into the espionage genre with perhaps the last character anyone would have expected: Trevor. It has long been known that single-player story DLC for the game was in the works, much like 's and, and 's before it, but with the monumental success of, which launched a month after and made over $500 million in microtransactions alone by 2016, and development of the massively detailed, Rockstar's priorities changed, resulting in the DLC's cancelation.

Grand Theft Auto 5 has received multiple updates over the years, adding new content, missions, heists and more to GTA Online, but the game has never received a story expansion since its initial release in 2013. Past reports have mentioned scrapped plans for story DLCs for the game, and more recently leaked database file from GTA 5 suggested that developers Rockstar Games cancelled a story mode DLC related to Trevor, one of the game's three main protagonists. Now, the actor who played the eccentric character in GTA 5 has said that he “shot some stuff” for a Trevor DLC that never saw the light of day.

Grand Theft Auto V voice actor Steven Ogg has said developer Rockstar Games originally planned to make a story expansion focused on Trevor, though it was seemingly canceled as a result of GTA Online becoming so popular.

Steven Ogg, the actor who famously voiced Grand Theft Auto 5 protagonist Trevor Philips, recently stated that he recorded dialogue for a DLC campaign that was ultimately canceled. Grand Theft Auto 5 is considered to be one of the biggest and best video games ever made, and a large part of its success lies in its memorable cast of characters. This includes Trevor, the trigger-happy partner of fellow GTA 5 playable character Michael De Santa who makes his way to the crime-ridden city of Los Santos after discovering that his old friend is still alive following a bank heist gone wrong.

GTA 5 was no doubt a big hit for Rockstar, but come to find out, actors have confirmed that there was a lot of behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the game that were never released online. These scenes and clips are now kept somewhere on a harddrive or something else by one of the flimers during the time of the game being made never to be seen.

Apparently, we've been missing out on a whole load of behind-the-scenes footage from the making of GTA 5, that the cast claim was all filmed but never actually used. Now, we just can't help but wonder what moments have been locked away, never to be released to the world.

According to new information from Grand Theft Auto 5 actors Steven Ogg and Ned Luke, GTA 5 was going to have a behind-the-scenes documentary, but it was ultimately scrapped by Rockstar Games. The actors behind Trevor and Michael, respectively, lamented that footage was filmed during the process of building GTA 5, but nothing was ever done with it.

We have a strange story today about the longest running, and most successful, Grand Theft Auto game of all time.

Grand Theft Auto 6 was finally revealed at the end of 2023, but we've had no further information about the title since then.

Voice actor Troy Baker has set the record straight on Grand Theft Auto 6 casting, confirming that he will not be playing the male protagonist.

While Rockstar may still be keeping its cards close to its chest regarding ,one actor wants to set the record straight on whether he's in the game or not. Dropping in late 2023, the official teaser trailer for the next entry in the ever-popular franchise took the world by storm, answering many questions while still leaving room for the community to speculate. One source of confusion is who is playing the two protagonists and while no performers have been announced just yet, one theory has officially been debunked.

Grand Theft Auto fans are waiting for Rockstar Games to unveil the next mainline installment finally. It’s been ages since we had a brand new installment for the franchise. In fact, we already surpassed the ten-year anniversary of Grand Theft Auto V. Remember, this game initially launched on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 console platforms.

There is no shortage of rumors and speculation pieces surfacing online for the next major installment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. We’ve waited a good while for the next iteration since Grand Theft Auto V launched nearly a decade ago at this point. The last installment was such a massive hit that it left players in awe of all the details, storyline, and activities that Rockstar Games put into the title. But with the immense amount of success Rockstar Games had with Grand Theft Auto Online, the development for Grand Theft Auto 6 was likely pushed a bit further back than what was likely planned.
