With that said, Grand Theft Auto has racked up a number of iconic protagonists and one will seemingly make a return in the near future. With the new San Andreas Mercenaries update out now for GTA Online, fans are datamining the files for clues of the future of the game. They have actually found quite a bit, too. A lot of the files point to a new Halloween update and while we’re not sure quite what it will all entail, there is one big surprise. It appears Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and The Damned protagonist Johnny Klebitz will make a return, but not in a way you’d expect. In fact, it will be his ghost. If you’ve played Grand Theft Auto V‘s story, you’ll know Johnny has a brief cameo when Trevor is introduced. That cameo is quickly ended when Trevor curb stomps Johnny’s head in, something that quickly demonstrates the psychotic nature of the game’s third protagonist and his strength. With that said, it seems like Klebitz may haunt players or a certain part of the map in the next update.

It will likely be a number of months before we get the full details, Halloween is still a ways away, but Rockstar has teased its potential already. Only time will tell what comes of it, but what we’ve seen so far makes it seem like it could be the coolest GTA Online update in quite some time.
