Rockstar Games dropped the second trailer for GTA 6, hoping to appease the gaming community after announcing the delay. This trailer featured a glimpse of this new open-world sandbox and revealed new details about the playable protagonists. Eagle-eyed fans caught some subtle easter eggs, like a parody version of a PlayStation 5, but what stood out was the return of a classic character.
An Iconic Character From the 3D Universe Is Back in GTA 6
While the delay of GTA 6 is upsetting, the developers dropped the second trailer out of nowhere and caught everyone off guard. Fans have been patiently waiting ever since the first teaser dropped, and this was somewhat worth the wait, especially since the developers shared more about the story. The gaming community is in for a treat, and Vice City never looked better.
One of the popular aspects of the classic Grand Theft Auto games was Phil Cassidy, a recurring character from older games. In the trailer, Ammu-Nation was featured along with a guy who resembles Cassidy, and this could be a subtle easter egg or an unexpected resurrection.
While this brief appearance in the trailer doesn’t confirm if Cassidy will have a major role in GTA 6, it is still a massive win for fans of the 3D games. Perhaps Cassidy could be just one of many revamped characters from the 3D universe and could appear in GTA 6 and future sequels. The more legacy characters that return, the better.
Adding classic characters like Phil Cassidy could do wonders for this game. Most players grew up with this franchise, and seeing classic characters pop up in newer entries would stir up a healthy dose of nostalgia.
