GTA 6 Second Trailer Out Now!
Meet Jason and Lucia
Following a delay announcement by Rockstar Games, pushing back the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto VI to next year, fans were treated to a second trailer on May 6. This trailer spotlighted the revamped Vice City and its inhabitants, offering deeper insights into the lives of the game's protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Their detailed backstories and motivations are available on GTA 6’s official website.
The storyline 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, was raised in a tough environment, learning to fight from her father at a young age. Her time in Leonida Penitentiary was a turning point, and upon release, she is determined to make smarter choices to provide a better life for her mother, reminiscent of their dreams in Liberty City. Her partnership with Jason might just be the key to changing her fortunes.
Players will embark on an immersive journey with Jason and Lucia, exploring the vibrant and diverse world of Leonida Keys.
A Conspiracy Theorist, Local Vice City Legend, Seasoned Bank Robber, and More
The trailer also introduces a range of intriguing secondary characters. Jason's friend, Cal Hampton, is a conspiracy theorist who trusts everything he reads online. Despite his quirks, he remains a loyal ally to Jason, helping him with his grander 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 delves 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 offers Jason a rent-free place to stay in exchange for assistance in local shakedowns.
With these characters and more, GTA 6 promises a rich tapestry of personalities that bring the sunny side of Vice City to life.
