GTA 6 Second Trailer Now Available!

Meet Jason and Lucia

The anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI has reached new heights following Rockstar Games' announcement of a release delay to next year. To keep the excitement alive, the studio released the second trailer for GTA 6 on May 6, offering a deeper look into the next-gen Vice City and its residents.

This trailer sheds more light on the game's protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Their detailed backstories and motivations are available on GTA 6's official website, providing insight into their lives amidst the bustling streets of Vice City.

The story synopsis reveals, "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive."

Jason, a former soldier, is trying to escape his troubled past but finds himself entangled with local drug runners in Leonida Keys. His meeting with Lucia could be pivotal, and he hopes it leads to a positive outcome.

Lucia, on the other hand, learned to fight from her father at a young age. Her tough upbringing led her to Leonida Penitentiary, but upon release, she's determined to make smarter choices to provide a better life for her mother, a dream they shared since their days in Liberty City. Fresh out of prison, Lucia sees a future with Jason as her chance to turn things around. Players will follow their journey through the vibrant world of Leonida Keys.

A Conspiracy Theorist, Local Vice City Legend, Seasoned Bank Robber, and More

In addition to the protagonists, Rockstar Games introduced several key characters that enrich the game's narrative. Jason's friend, Cal Hampton, is a conspiracy theorist who trusts everything he reads online. Despite his paranoia, he enjoys life in the Keys and supports Jason in his grand schemes.

Boobie Ike, a local legend, has transformed his street life into a legitimate empire, owning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio. The game will delve into the music industry, featuring characters like Dre’Quan and the music duo Real Dimez.

On the criminal side, Raul Bautista is a seasoned bank robber always ready to take risks for the biggest rewards. Brian Heder, a veteran drug runner, operates a smuggling business in the Keys and allows Jason to live rent-free in one of his properties in exchange for help with local shakedowns.

With these characters and more, GTA 6 promises a rich tapestry of stories and personalities in the sunny side of Vice City.
