Steven Ogg finally plays GTA V for the first time 13 years after its release, joining Ned Luke for "The Final Mission."
Steven Ogg, the voice of Trevor Philips in GTA V, finally gets around to playing the game - 13 years after its release. He is joined by Ned Luke, the voice actor of Micheal de Santa, in Episode 1 of a series called "The Final Mission." Both share stories about acting, video games, and the production of GTA.
A Final Mission
With GTA VI on the horizon, the two voice actors take the opportunity to reminisce one final time. In a livestream series that Luke dubs "The Final Mission," the two play through the North Yankton prologue. Viewers were especially delighted about Ogg's reactions, as he admits to not being much of a gamer. Shawn Fonteno, the voice of Franklin, is also expected to join the series.
For fans of the decade-old masterpiece, seeing Ogg finally interact with the finished product is nothing short of historic. Despite turning Trevor Philips into a true icon, Ogg has famously kept his distance from the gaming community over the years, often preferring literature over digital worlds. Watching him experience the chaotic energy of the game's opening heist provides a striking, highly entertaining contrast to his real-world personality.
Throughout the inaugural episode, the dynamic duo exchanges rare behind-the-scenes memories from the game's extensive production cycles. They dive deep into the unique challenges of performance capture, the grueling hours in the studio, and how their lives completely transformed overnight following the 2013 launch.
As the gaming world prepares for its next era, "The Final Mission" serves as a poignant, nostalgic send-off to Los Santos. With Fonteno joining future episodes, this farewell tour promises to reunite Grand Theft Auto’s most legendary trio for one last unforgettable ride before the spotlight officially shifts to Vice City.
