Fans of the Grand Theft Auto franchise are enthusiastic about the potential return of several classic characters in the upcoming GTA 6, and they have compelling reasons to believe this is likely. The series is known for intertwining its narratives with nods to previous installments, including character references, location mentions, and sometimes even direct appearances. Given this tradition, fans are keen to see beloved figures from past games, particularly those from Vice City.
Specifically, aficionados of the series are hoping for callbacks to iconic characters like Tommy Vercetti and his friend Lance Vance, particularly highlighting the memorable dance moves associated with them. Additionally, GTA IV’s memorable characters are also on the fans’ wish lists for possible appearances in the new game.
Returning Character Spotlight: Jerry Kapowitz from GTA IV
One character whose return seems probable is Jerry Kapowitz, known from GTA IV’s The Ballad of Gay Tony. Fans who played this expansion know Kapowitz as a war veteran who surprisingly sidestepped a tragic demise after laying hands on precious diamonds. Recently, an intriguing observation surfaced on social media from X/Twitter user JustMeRyder, noting that Kapowitz had intentions to relocate to Vice City to establish a gun and liquor shop.

Luis Lopez: Potential Comeback from The Ballad of Gay Tony
In addition to Kapowitz, Luis Lopez, another character from The Ballad of Gay Tony, is also speculated to make a return. Unlike many protagonists in the series, Luis survives through the DLC, which often raises eyebrows among fans who analyze the chances of returning characters. Notably, the actor who portrayed Luis, Mario D’Leon, has drawn attention for following Manni Perez, the rumored voice behind GTA 6’s character Lucia, on social platforms.
This connection between D’Leon and Perez has sparked excitement, especially considering the vibrant nightclub scene that matches Luis’ character arc so well in the new Vice City setting. One fan remarked, “He’d make the most sense out of all the characters to make a return in six imo,” while another suggested that since Rockstar has previously resurrected characters like Tony Prince and Yusuf Amir in GTA Online, Luis’s comeback is feasible.

However, fans are advised to be cautious, as not all returning protagonists come back to favorable outcomes—Johnny Klebitz’s fate in GTA V serves as a stark reminder. Thus, while excitement grows for the potential returns of characters like Jerry Kapowitz and Luis Lopez, fans should remain tempered in their expectations as they await further news about GTA 6.
