So, here we are, folks. Just when you thought the hype train for Grand Theft Auto 6 couldn’t get any louder, an actor from GTA 5 drops some tantalizing breadcrumbs that might just be enough to keep us gnawing at our nails until the big reveal. It’s like waiting for your favorite band to announce a reunion tour, excitement mixed with sheer agony!
This time, it’s Johnny Ray Gill, the voice behind some unforgettable GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 characters. In a recent chat on YouTube, he slipped in what sounded like a hint about his involvement with the next installment of Rockstar’s iconic series. During an interview filled with nostalgia over his past projects, he teased about being part of ‘another situation in that world’ targeting a release around, you guessed it, 2025 or even 2026.
If you’ve been living under a rock (or perhaps just not following gaming news), let me remind you: GTA 6 has been shrouded in more secrecy than your grandma’s secret cookie recipe since those massive leaks back in 2022. With over 100 GB of content exposed to the public eye, one would think Rockstar might loosen their grip on information, but nope! They’re still keeping it tight-lipped.
Our only real glimpse was that trailer released in December last year, a record-breaking moment that sent shockwaves through every corner of the gaming community. Нow Gill comes with casual yet cryptic comments during his sit-down with ‘Check It TV’. He started talking about some crossovers from other hit shows but then pivoted towards his adventures voicing characters for Rockstar.
“Grand Theft Auto was crazy. I was earlier in my career and they put the little helmet on you and they film you…”
“Stay on the lookout. I can’t say anything, but there’s another situation happening in that world that may be coming out in 2025, 2026 that I’m really happy about.”
“I mean, I don’t know! I don’t know! Stay tuned.”
You can catch this delightful exchange right here:
The way Gill danced around details makes me wonder if he’s got insider info or just really good at playing coy. GTA V’s launch back in ’13, there’s potential for him to step into something bigger this time around. But hey, who knows? Maybe he’s just throwing out vague hints like confetti at a parade.
