A recent update to GTA Online has sparked speculation about the return of Lester, a popular character from Grand Theft Auto 5, in the upcoming GTA 6. Fans believe that a message from Lester suggests he has moved to Vice City, the setting for GTA 6.
Lester's Message and Fan Theories
The new GTA Online update includes in-game content, new vehicles, and missions, along with a message from Lester discussing his retirement. Some phrases within the message led fans to believe that Lester is enjoying his retirement in Vice City.
Given that GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida, which includes Vice City, fans are theorizing that Rockstar Games might be setting the stage for Lester's return in the GTA 6 online mode.
Precedent for Returning Characters
The idea of Lester returning to the franchise isn't far-fetched. Rockstar has a history of bringing back characters from previous titles. Johnny Klebitz from Grand Theft Auto 4 reappeared in GTA 5, and numerous other characters have made appearances across the series. However, despite the plausibility, Lester's return remains a theory for now and won't be confirmed until the release of GTA 6.
