Highlights
- Fans are eager for Michael to receive DLC in GTA Online, but it's uncertain if this will happen.
- Ned Luke, Michael's actor, responded to fans' requests, sparking excitement and speculation.
- While fans hope for Michael's return, any potential plans by Rockstar are being kept tightly under wraps.
GTA Online players are calling for Michael De Santa to receive DLC in the online component of the game, and the actor who brought the character to life has responded to the request. Fans of GTA Online and GTA 5 are excited and hopeful at the prospect of a Michael update, but it remains to be seen if it will become reality.
GTA Online has seen content that's included Trevor and Franklin, two of the three GTA 5 protagonists. While some players have some complaints about the Dr Dre DLC in GTA Online, most were thrilled to see Franklin back in action after years of demands to see the character again. However, Michael is still missing from the online component, and fans want that to change.
Grand Theft Auto Online Temporarily Removes Content Due to Vulnerability
A popular feature in Grand Theft Auto Online is currently unavailable to PC players due to what could be a vulnerability in the game.
Players have been talking about Michael again since GTA Online revealed the Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC, which is bringing back the character Maude from the game's main story. One fan complained that the online version of the game has brought back nearly every story mode character with the exception of Michael, which led to another responding that Ned Luke, his actor, needed to force his way into the mocap room to record new DLC. Ned Luke saw the tweet and responded, simply saying, "Wouldn't that be nice?"
Does Ned Luke's Response Mean Michael Will Appear in GTA Online?
Since then, many fans have responded with excitement, with one believing that the response indicated that he was teasing future Michael content. However, many more have noted that they don't believe that to be the case, and with good reason. If Ned Luke were to return in any capacity to the series, he would undoubtedly be under an ironclad NDA preventing him from talking about it prior to an official reveal. It wouldn't be worth violating the NDA and invoking Rockstar and Take-Two's ire just to appease some fans.
It's much more likely that Luke is simply in agreement with the statement, as he regularly engages with the GTA fanbase. The actor has played the game on-stream and even acted as a grumpy Cluckin' Bell employee in a short video. It seems that Luke would be perfectly happy to revisit his role, but if Rockstar has any plans for that to happen, they'll likely remain tightly under wraps. Even if Rockstar experienced another devastating leak, Luke probably wouldn't comment on it until given the go-ahead.
Some have suggested that one last mission that brings back the three main characters would be a great way to close out the title before GTA 6 launches. This idea has gained a lot of traction in the community. For now, though, it remains to be seen if fans will get their wish.
