Reflecting on majority of the Grand Theft Auto entries that has graced the gaming market, especially with the series’ adoption of operating with three-dimensional worlds, users might remember one character that has been present leading to the latest Grand Theft Auto V. That being Lazlow Jones: unlike the aurora that the franchise has earned with parodying other brands and labels with fake personas to replace, Jones is one of the few genuine names in any of the Grand Theft Auto titles.

While he does pose as a radio host in the series since Grand Theft Auto III stretched between all eras and later receiving an official face reveal in the current Grand Theft Auto V, Jones has been involved with the Grand Theft Auto brand for nearly two decades. Evening being reiterated for a following GTA Online in 2018, he still shows relevance well after the game’s release.

However, it was discovered by YouTuber Gtamen that the prolific character has finally moved on to new projects with his departure from Rockstar Games. The user uncovered this finding earlier in the week where his LinkedIn account tells that Jones left the developer earlier this year, April to be correct.

While Lazlow has been presented as a secondary character throughout the Grand Theft Auto timeline as other proficient individuals took the spotlight, Jones’ presence always gave the universe some charm when stumbling upon him during the experience. As said previously, he hosted numerous talk shows on the airwaves as a DJ for a handful of radio networks spanning for more than a decade.

As for what the future holds for Jones, it is currently unsure what specifically he has on the menu now that he is officially gone from Rockstar Games. Aside from video games, Jones has also been involved in real-time radio and television as well. His LinkedIn profile tells that his current involvements are for projects under Disney & Netflix alongside other operation underway for Comedy Central.

Jones is not the only Rockstar Games veteran to depart from the team. This past March, Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser officially stepped down from his role at the firm. You can read the full report by heading here.
