Rockstar Games has pulled back the curtain on the next major patch for Grand Theft Auto Online, not only confirming that the free content update will be released on Wednesday, December 10, but also surprising fans with the return of Michael De Santa, one of the three main protagonists from Grand Theft Auto 5. There have long been rumors and theories that Michael would return in a new Grand Theft Auto Online update, and just as players were beginning to lose faith, Rockstar brought back the icon for one last hurrah.
It has now been twelve years since fans got to experience the Grand Theft Auto 5 story, featuring Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. While there were initially plans for single-player DLCs, one of which made it into production and was focused on Trevor becoming an undercover agent for the FIB, Rockstar cancelled them, likely to put its resources into Grand Theft Auto Online and Red Dead Redemption 2. However, Franklin, Trevor, and some other beloved characters did make their return in various new updates for Grand Theft Auto Online, leaving Michael as the odd one out...until now.
Even after two decades, San Andreas has one mission that the rest...
