Michael Hollick, the voice of Grand Theft Auto IV's Niko Bellic has been confirmed to reprise his role as the Eastern European character in Rockstar's upcoming game.
It's unknown as to whether Niko Bellic will play a huge role in the storyline of Grand Theft Auto V, which takes place in sunny Los Santos, far from the windy streets of Liberty City.
That said, the fact that Hollick is reprising his role as the character is a big indication that the game takes place sometime after Grand Theft Auto IV.
Young Maylay, who played the role of Carl "C.J." Johnson in GTA: San Andreas, is rumored to reprise his role in Grand Theft Auto V, although that remains a point of speculation at this time.
Grand Theft Auto V is currently in development for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and its story surrounds the pursuit of the almighty dollar in these tumultuous economic times.
