GTA 6 Second Trailer Out Now!
Meet Jason and Lucia
The excitement surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI has reached new heights following Rockstar Games' announcement of a release delay to next year. Easing the wait, the studio released GTA 6's second trailer on May 6, giving fans an exciting glimpse into the updated world of Vice City and its residents.
The trailer provides more insights into the game’s protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Their detailed backstories and motivations are available on GTA 6’s official website, showcasing their journey through 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 in the Army, is trying to leave his troubled past behind. His journey led him to the Leonida Keys, where he now works for local drug runners. His meeting with Lucia could be a turning point in his life, and he hopes it's for the better.
Lucia, on the other hand, was raised in a rough environment, learning to fight from her father at a young age. Her challenging upbringing led her to the Leonida Penitentiary. Upon release, she is determined to make smarter choices to provide a better life for her mother, dreaming of the life they envisioned back in Liberty City. Fresh out of prison, Lucia sees a potential future with Jason as a way to change her fate. Players will follow their journey alongside the colorful characters that populate the sunny Leonida Keys.
A Conspiracy Theorist, Local Vice City Legend, Seasoned Bank Robber, and More
In addition to the protagonists, Rockstar Games has introduced several key characters that enrich the game's narrative. Among them is Jason’s friend, Cal Hampton, a conspiracy theorist who trusts everything he reads online. Despite his quirky beliefs, Cal enjoys life in the Keys and supports Jason in his larger schemes.
Vice City’s streets are ruled by the local legend, Boobie Ike, who transformed his street life into a legitimate business empire, including real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio. The game delves into the music scene with characters like Dre’Quan and the music duo Real Dimez.
On the darker side of the city, Raul Bautista stands out as a seasoned bank robber, always ready to take risks for the biggest rewards. Brian Heder, a veteran drug runner, operates his smuggling business in the Keys, allowing Jason to live rent-free in one of his properties in exchange for help with local shakedowns.
With these and other characters revealed in the trailer, GTA 6 promises a rich tapestry of personalities that define the sunny side of Vice City.
