GTA Online Summer DLC Will See The Return Of Another GTA 5 Character, But Not The One Fans Want

Highlights

GTA Online’s upcoming update, Bottom Dollar Bounties, will feature Maude Eccles and a bounty hunting business.
Despite fans’ excitement for the new content, many are still waiting for the return of Michael De Santa in GTA Online.
Ned Luke, the actor who portrays Michael, has previously teased the character’s potential return in the game, leaving fans hopeful.

Earlier this week, Rockstar Games confirmed that the next GTA Online update would be ‘Bottom Dollar Bounties’. The upcoming content update appears to be awfully similar to the cancelled ‘Cops N Crooks’ update from a few years ago, adding a new bounty hunting business, “off-the-books enforcement activities,” new vehicles, and much more.

Similar to previous updates, Bottom Dollar Bounties will once again see a character from Grand Theft Auto 5 make their return. Unfortunately, it’s not the character fans have been begging for.

Yasuke won’t have his own hidden blade, but he will be able to perform some “brutal” assassinations, according to Ubisoft.

As revealed in a new trailer yesterday afternoon, GTA Online: Bottom Dollar Bounties will see the return of Maude Eccles, a character not seen in GTA Online since 2013. But before Maude appeared in GTA Online, she ran a bounty business in Grand Theft Auto 5. With four separate bounties available in-game, players could earn $5,000 per bounty, or $10,000 per bounty if they brought them back alive.

Maude will now be returning to GTA Online next week with the Bottom Dollar Bounties update, in which players will be able to take over Maude’s bounty enforcement business and work with her daughter, Jenette Eccles.

While fans are eager to check out the new update and run their very own bounty-hunting business, the community is still begging to see the return of Michael De Santa, one of the few remaining Grand Theft Auto 5 characters yet to make an appearance in GTA Online.

Ned Luke, the actor who portrays Michael De Santa in Grand Theft Auto 5, has teased fans multiple times in the past. Back in November, Luke responded to a fan on X (formerly Twitter) teasing his potential return in GTA Online.

Prior to that, in-game files pointed toward a potential return for the character, but fans have still been left in the dark about Michael’s return. But some fans are certain that GTA Online will go out with a bang and have one final content update featuring Michael De Santa’s return.

“Michael is gonna be, in his own words “The Big One” at the end of GTA 5’s online mode. Calling it now,” one user said on X. While another echoed a similar statement, saying, “Mark my words, Michael will return in GTA Online’s last update.”
