Grand Theft Auto IV, often considered the forgotten entry in the series, might be about to get some long-overdue recognition. While GTA 5 continues to dominate with GTA Online and over 200 million copies sold, and the classic trilogy (GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas) enjoys regular re-releases and remasters, GTA 4 has remained largely untouched. Available on Steam in its original form, it hasn’t been ported to modern consoles or any Nintendo platform. This leaves many fans wondering if a character from Liberty City could make a surprising return in the upcoming GTA 6.
While the return of protagonist Niko Bellic seems highly unlikely, Rockstar Games has a history of bringing back minor characters. One such character, Jerry Kapowtiz, a homeless Vietnam War veteran from GTA 4: The Ballad of Gay Tony, mentioned plans to move to Vice City to open a gun and liquor store. Whether he followed through remains unknown, but this provides Rockstar Games with a perfect opportunity for a character cameo.
Since GTA 4 was set around 2008, most of its surviving characters would still be alive during the modern-day setting of GTA 6. If Jerry does reappear, his considerable age as a Vietnam War veteran would undoubtedly add an intriguing layer to the story.
Jerry Kapowtiz, a homeless Vietnam War veteran from GTA 4, expressed interest in moving to Vice City. Could he make an appearance in GTA 6?
It’s important to remember that character reappearances from previous GTA games, while not unheard of, are relatively rare. Nevertheless, the possibility of Jerry Kapowtiz’s return adds another layer of anticipation for GTA 6.
This speculation should, of course, be taken with a grain of salt. However, it’s an exciting prospect for fans of the series. The return of even a minor character like Jerry could bridge the gap between the “forgotten” GTA 4 and the highly anticipated GTA 6.
