Not too many details about Grand Theft Auto 6 have been revealed yet, especially when it comes to the upcoming title’s story. Voice actor Steve Ogg, who voiced one of the protagonists in Grand Theft Auto 5 – Trevor – believes that it would be cool of the character showed up at the start of the game to pass the torch to a new generation.
Ogg doesn’t want Trevor to steal the spotlight from the new protagonists in GTA 6, and instead, would like it if he could show up for a few seconds…only to get quickly killed off and have the game move on with its story.
“It would be fun if Trevor appeared in it just to be killed at the beginning. I think that would be cool,” said Ogg in an interview with ScreenRant. “Because it also acknowledges the fans… like ‘Hey, thank you. Pass the torch, stomp Trevor’s head in, and sort of put an end to that and allow a new generation to take over.'”
Interestingly enough, the character of Trevor was introduced similarly in GTA 5, in a scene that involved him messing with and ultimately killing Johnny Kibbutz, the protagonist of GTA 4 DLC The Lost and the Damned. GTA 5 doesn’t bring too much attention to Johnny, and those that may not have played GTA 4 would be left completely in the dark about who the character was at all.
While Rockstar itself has been quietly working away at GTA 6, the game has popped up recently in the news owing to how big a deal its release will be. Epyllion analyst Matthew Ball recently predicted that it could be the first game to charge $100 for just the base version, breaking the price barrier for other big-budget games. This is due to video game budgets currently at an all-time high, while the price of games has barely increased over the last couple of decades.
Other analysts, however, have pointed out that Rockstar would have more to lose by raising the price to $100 than it would gain. Among other things, the move would limit how many people could feasibly buy the upcoming title. Circana’s Mat Piscatella also points out how games have already been charging $100 for fancier editions that offer early access.
While it is currently unknown when GTA 6 will come out, it is in development for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S with a Fall release window. Check out our thoughts on whether it will be able to surpass the single-player campaign from Rockstar’s most recent major release, Red Dead Redemption 2.
