Grand Theft Auto 5 first released in 2013 (coming to PC in 2015), and from the vantage point of 2024 we can see it was a live game in disguise. The singleplayer side of the game, which for the first time featured three protagonists players could switch between on-the-fly, acted as Trojan horse for Rockstar’s second swing at GTA Online, the multiplayer mode that would come to dominate the studio’s time and attention and generate unfathomable levels of cash.

“We had that really cool shit where, and I forget if it was gonna be DLC, Trevor was gonna be undercover,” says Ogg. “He works for the feds. And we did shoot some of that stuff with like James Bond Trevor: he’s still kind of a fuck up, but he’s doing his best to pretend to be like [an agent]. We shot some stuff and then it just disappeared and [Rockstar] never did it, and they never followed up on it.”

Ned Luke says that a lot of these ideas ended up in DLC for GTA Online, which Ogg agrees with, before going on to muse about what would’ve been a fun aspect for GTA 5, and not just for his character.

As if that doesn’t make you ache enough for what we never had, the scuttlebutt is that Agent Trevor was planned to culminate with its very own Moonraker moment, that would see Trevor shooting off into space. Ned Luke mentions GTA Online and this is where Agent Trevor’s best ideas ended up, mostly across the Doomsday heist with some in the Diamond Casino heist.

To briefly rewind to GTA 4’s episodic DLC model, the problem there wasn’t the quality (both were superb), but that Take Two and Rockstar felt they’d commercially underperformed (or as Take Two’s then-CEO Ben Federput it in 2009, “weren’t able to leverage GTA 4’s initial marketing campaign and initial launch fervor”). GTA Online, on the other hand, makes aroundhalf a billion dollars a yeardespite being a hot mess.

All eyes are onGTA 6now, but while that game will be sold on its singleplayer mode it seems unlikely Rockstar will ever return to singleplayer DLC (it didn’t even go there with Red Dead Redemption 2, which was crying out for its own Undead Nightmare). Agent Trevor is a glimpse at the road not travelled and, even though much of it ended up repurposed elsewhere, it’s a pity we’ll never get to see everyone’s favourite psycho in a tux, ordering a vodka martini before burning it all down.
