GTA 5 almost got a singleplayer DLC expansion featuring Trevor as a secret agent. 

Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 5 famously never received single player expansions, unlike previous instalments in the series which expanded upon existing stories and characters. However, dataminers have confirmed that the game originally planned to release three different story expansions, one of which would have featured Trevor as a secret agent. 

In a new GTA 5 reunion live stream, the game’s main cast - Steven Ogg (Trevor), Ned Luke (Michael) and Shawn Fonteno (Franklin) - confirmed that an, “Agent Trevor,” DLC was in the works, with Ogg having, “shot some stuff,” for the project before it was cancelled.

Grand Theft Auto 5 actor Q&A confirms existence of cancelled DLCs

Dataminers have confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 5 was originally planned to feature three Story Mode DLCs, with the working titles of ‘Agent Trevor’, ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ and ‘Alien Invasion’ respectively. Agent Trevor would’ve seen the titular character take on the role of a federal agent in a series of espionage-themed missions. However, the expansions were cancelled in favour of more GTA Online content and resources for Red Dead Redemption 2. 

A recent GTA 5 actor Q&A livestream has now confirmed this to be true. During the Q&A, Trevor’s actor Steven Ogg stated that Rockstar had actually put quite a bit of work into Agent Trevor before its cancellation. Ogg said:

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

We now know Rockstar eventually pivoted away from this idea, instead turning Agent Trevor’s content into GTA Online’s Doomsday Heist expansion. Ogg went on in the livestream to say that Agent Trevor, “would've been cool. He got hired [by the agency], that would've been fun, to follow a different journey. Y'know, like Franklin becomes born again or a Mormon or something, or a Hutterite and goes to make rabbit slippers on the colony.”

While the concept of more single player content for GTA 5 sounds like a dream today, at least fans now know that the next bit of GTA content isn’t too far away.
