GTA 6 Fans Think a Beloved Legacy Character from a Previous Game Is Hiding in the Latest Trailer

The most recent GTA 6 trailer has many people wondering if an iconic character from a previous game in the franchise is making a return.In the latest GTA 6 trailer, released yesterday to announce pre-loads, a character in a blue tank top and bulky black glasses is seen saying, "Oh, it is so on now." This is seemingly the first time we've seen this mystery character in GTA 6, and there may be a reason for that. Some fans believe this is an older and slightly chubbier Tony Prince (AKA Gay Tony). The character made his debut in GTA 4 and appeared in both DLCs, but was the focus of The Ballad of Gay Tony expansion. In that story, players filled the shoes of Luis, Tony's right-hand man. Tony Prince was a prominent nightclub owner in Liberty City, but he has since bounced around.Why does this guy actually kinda look and sound like Tony? I’m losing my mind, similar glasses, beard and very similar voice. There’s no way he let himself go and moved to the keys right? https://t.co/NH1Ltr7I93— TGG (@TGGonYT) November 11, 2026 Tony moved to Los Santos years later and returned in a GTA Online update, giving missions to the player as part of the game's nightclub operations. Now, some fans believe he may have moved to Vice City/Leonida, though he may have fallen on hard times. He looks more out of shape, he's missing his high-end sense of style, minus the glasses, and he doesn't appear to be living it up in a highrise apartment or anything like that.The character has the same style of beard, glasses, and has a similar voice to Tony, but it's hard to say if it really is him. It could be someone who somewhat resembles him, but the speculation is driving some fans mad. GTA 6 will lean pretty heavily on Vice City's nightlife, with clubbing being prominently featured in the trailers released by Rockstar (including the pre-load ad). One of the in-game clubs, known as Jack of Hearts, is also expected to be a haven for celebrities and real-life musicans. Travis Scott namedropped it in his song, RHYNO, which will be featured in the game, and a screenshot revealed Kodak Black will hang out there as an NPC.Naturally, it would make tons of sense for GTA's nightclub king to be part of the festivities in Vice City. We'll ultimately just have to wait and see, but thankfully, we are only days away from finding out. We have just a week left until GTA 6 launches, and it looks like it's going to make a big splash. The game is currently the most pre-ordered game in the history of the Xbox and PlayStation digital stores, suggesting all kinds of sales records will be broken next weekend.Cade Onder is a freelancer for IGN's news team.
