4 iconic gangs we could see again in GTA 6
Image via Rockstar Games With the release of the GTA 6 Trailer 2 on May 6, 2025, the internet exploded with excitement. Set in the vibrant, chaotic world of Leonida, the game brings us back to Vice City after over two decades. But as fans analyze every frame, one question keeps resurfacing: Which iconic gangs might return to reclaim their turf? Here's a look at 4 legendary gangs that could make a comeback in GTA 6, and why fans are hoping they do. 1. The Vercetti Gang When Tommy Vercetti took over the criminal underworld in GTA: Vice City (2002), he built his own mafia-style empire. The 'Vercetti Gang' ruled the city, operating from the iconic Vercetti Estate (a clear nod to Scarface). Their neon suits, high-speed chases in Infernus cars, and brutal efficiency made them unforgettable. While Tommy's fate remains a mystery, fans are speculating that his legacy might still loom large in GTA 6. Maybe a new generation is carrying the Vercetti name, or maybe a rival gang is trying to erase it. The Story of Los Cabrones - Grand Theft Auto Vice City 2. Los Cabrones Led by the fiery Umberto Robina in GTA: Vice City, Los Cabrones were fiercely proud Cubans with a deep love for machismo and mayhem. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo They clashed with Haitian gangs and ruled parts of Little Havana with baseball bats and machine guns. Given GTA 6's strong Floridian and Latin American influences (especially with protagonist Lucia's background), there's a solid chance we'll see Los Cabrones or a similar Cuban gang return—possibly modernized, more ruthless, and tech-savvy. 3. The Sharks Not every gang has to come from the streets. The Sharks, from Vice City Stories, were more polished, upper-class thugs dealing in stolen goods and shady real estate. Often underestimated due to their slick appearances and golf-club hangouts, they were still dangerous players in the city's underbelly. GTA 6's trailer showcases glamorous beachfronts, high-rises, and influencer culture—an ideal environment for a modernized version of The Sharks to thrive, perhaps with crypto scams and social media extortion added to their business model. How To Join Haitian Gang in GTA Vice City? Hidden Place | GTAVC Secret Gang Cheats & Myths 4. The Haitian Gang In GTA: Vice City, the Haitian Gang was a powerful force in Little Haiti, known for its street brutality and rumored ties to voodoo practices. They were in constant turf wars with Los Cabrones, and their storylines brought a unique cultural texture to the game. With Leonida clearly drawing from Miami's diverse cultural landscape, Rockstar might reintroduce the Haitian Gang—either as a reimagined crew with political ambitions or as a secretive, feared underworld faction dealing in occult crime. Whether it's for nostalgia or storytelling depth, the return of iconic gangs could make GTA 6's world feel both familiar and refreshingly layered. With Vice City's legacy on the line and new protagonists entering the scene, it's not just about who's back, but who's taking over. Which gang do you want to see rule Leonida again? Let the turf wars begin.

5 GTA 6 cameos that would blow GTA fans' minds
Image via Rockstar Games Vice City is back. And so is the nostalgia. With GTA 6 bringing us back to palm-lined streets and neon-lit nights, there's a quiet hope buzzing in every fan's head: Who's coming back? Rockstar has always loved sprinkling in cameos that hit hard for longtime players. Here are 5 legendary returns that could absolutely blow the roof off the fanbase if they happen. 1. Claude — The Silent Assassin in the Shadows He doesn't talk. He doesn't flinch. And he's one of the most dangerous men in GTA history. Claude from GTA III has always been shrouded in mystery, and with Leonida (GTA 6's setting) being a criminal hotspot, there's every reason to think this mute menace could show up on the sidelines, maybe as a silent fixer or a mythic figure who 'never misses.' Tommy Vercetti Returns To GTA 6.. 2. Tommy Vercetti — The Ghost of Vice City Tommy was the face of the original Vice City. Even though Ray Liotta (who voiced him) passed away in 2022, fans are hoping Rockstar will find a respectful way to reference the character - maybe a statue, mural, or whispered legend in the streets. Just a glimpse of Tommy's legacy would send old-school players into overdrive. He is Vice City. 3. Niko Bellic — A Smuggler in a New Land Last we heard, Niko had disappeared off the radar. But imagine this: the Eastern European war vet-turned-criminal pops up in Leonida, older, more cautious, running guns or quietly advising a new generation of crooks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Direct shopping From Adidas Franchise Store...

CJ — Back With Grove Street Wisdom Carl 'CJ' Johnson is the heart of GTA: San Andreas, and players have begged Rockstar for years to bring him back. An older CJ mentoring young criminals? Or maybe running his own empire from afar? The Grove Street OG deserves a return, and if Rockstar pulls it off without ruining his arc, it'll be historic . Michael De Santa In GTA 6 (HE'S BACK) 5. Michael De Santa — Hollywood to Leonida Michael faked his death, moved to Vinewood, and tried to live the good life. But what if he's got connections in Vice City? Whether it's a cameo in a mission, a news report, or a phone call, seeing Michael — older, maybe even wiser — would make the GTA V trilogy feel tighter and more connected to GTA 6's evolving story. GTA 6 is already hyped for its massive open world and the return to Vice City. But sprinkle in even one of these iconic characters, and it won't just be a new chapter — it'll feel like the ultimate love letter to fans who've been along for the chaos since the beginning. Here's hoping Rockstar knows exactly how to hit us in the feels.

The long wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 just got longer. Rockstar Games has officially pushed back the release of the highly anticipated title to May 26, 2026.

While fans gear up for the next big entry in the franchise, there's plenty of Grand Theft Auto games titles available to revisit or discover.
