Michael de Santa is back in action: major GTA Online update introduces iconic GTA V character
Rockstar Games studio announced another major update for GTA Online, notable for introducing one of the central characters of GTA V — Michael De Santa — into the popular multiplayer crime action game.
What is known
The update is titled A Safehouse in the Hills and will be available from December 10 on all platforms. The noticeably older Michael will return to a life of crime and play a significant role in the new missions.
Earlier, Rockstar had already introduced GTA V characters to GTA Online, where players can see Lamar, Lester, and Martin Madrazo, but never before have developers brought back any of the three main protagonists. This event caused a great deal of interest among GTA fans and also greatly pleased actor Ned Luke, who, after 15 years, once again voiced Michael.
