GTA 6 Teases Piggsy Comeback? Manhunt Easter Egg Sparks Fan Theories

GTA 6 Might Be Bringing Back a Forgotten Horror Icon… Maybe

Rockstar Games did what they do best—drop jaws—with the reveal of GTA 6’s second trailer. Alongside it came a batch of screenshots, character bios, and a flurry of fan theories zooming across the internet faster than a boosted Infernus.

Among all the details and deep dives, one particularly creepy discovery has everyone raising their eyebrows: a potential nod to Piggsy, the chainsaw-wielding maniac from Manhunt.

A Tattoo Worth Talking About

So here’s the scoop—fans spotted something weird and wild in one of GTA 6’s new character bios. A dude named Cal Hampton, described as your neighborhood conspiracy nut who’s more into beer and Coast Guard radio chatter than reality, has a tattoo that looks suspiciously like Piggsy—yes, that Piggsy. The pig-headed, human-slaughtering nightmare from Rockstar’s ultra-violent horror game Manhunt.

It’s on his leg, and while it’s a small detail, it’s sparked a whole lot of noise online.

Who is Piggsy, Anyway?

For the uninitiated (or those who didn’t play Manhunt with the lights off), Piggsy is the final boss in Rockstar’s 2003 cult horror hit. He’s a terrifying, almost mythic figure—a naked, chainsaw-wielding brute who wears a pig’s head and lives to carve up anything that moves. It’s the stuff of nightmares, and the game was so disturbing it got banned in several countries.

Piggsy met his end in Manhunt, though—falling into a pit after a gruesome chainsaw fight. So how could he show up again?

Is Piggsy Actually in GTA 6?

Let’s be real—the OG Piggsy probably isn’t making a comeback. Manhunt is set in Carcer City and takes place in the GTA 3D Universe, which technically isn’t the same world as GTA 4, 5, or now 6. That said, Rockstar has never been afraid to blur the lines between universes with subtle winks, nods, and creepy Easter eggs.

It’s much more likely that what we’re seeing is:

• A tattoo tribute from Cal, who maybe thinks of Piggsy as some kind of legendary figure (which fits with his conspiracy-theory persona).

• Or, more intriguingly, it could be setting up a copycat killer—a new character inspired by the legend of Piggsy. Think cult status gone off the rails.

• Or, hey, maybe it’s just Rockstar having some fun with fans who love to connect the dots.

Rockstar Loves Their Serial Killers

Let’s not forget—Rockstar has a track record of creepy murder side quests. Red Dead Redemption 2 had the sinister Edmund Lowry Jr. GTA 5 had the Infinity Killer mystery that you could uncover in bits and pieces. These aren’t always front-and-center missions, but they add tons of flavor to the world and keep the internet buzzing.

So, the idea that GTA 6 could include a side mission inspired by Piggsy—or even let players uncover a dark urban legend tied to Cal Hampton—isn’t far-fetched at all.

Final Thoughts: A Slice of Horror in Sunny Leonida?

While it’s unlikely we’ll be running from the original Piggsy through the neon-soaked streets of Vice City, the signs are pointing to something weird and possibly sinister lurking beneath GTA 6’s surface. A horror-themed mystery? A killer inspired by Piggsy? A dark easter egg for fans of Rockstar’s darker side?

Whatever it ends up being, one thing’s for sure—GTA 6 isn’t afraid to tap into Rockstar’s spookier roots.

And with fans already dissecting every frame of the trailers, you can bet we’ll be hearing more theories before the game even drops.
