We Got Lots of New Details Along With the Second Trailer for GAT 6, so Let's Dive In!
Well, that's one way to change the mood after delaying your game. Rockstar shock dropped another trailer for GTA 6 today, over a year since the last trailer was released, and this time they included many more details about the game's plot, the main protagonists, Lucia and Jason, and the characters that will be in the world around them. Let's get into everything we know about GTA 6 after today's announcement.
Along side the trailer, Rockstar included this description:
"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."
Clearly the tension between the sunny beaches and laid back fun of Leonida and Vice City will be contrasted with the dark criminal world that Rockstar games tend to explore. And unlike GTA 5, whose main characters came from different backgrounds and united for a common cause, GTA 6's protagonists are a power couple from the start. Can't wait to see what sorts of challenges they face together, and what decisions Rockstar forces us to make concerning their future.
Beyond the trailer, Rockstar released a dedicated site for GTA 6, and gave us multiple character bios to dissect along with the trailer. Read below for the character descriptions, and don't miss our recap of all the locations in GTA 6 that were revealed today too.
One of the two main characters, Rockstar gave us insight into Lucia Caminos:
"Lucia’s father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk. Life has been coming at her swinging ever since. Fighting for her family landed her in the Leonida Penitentiary. Sheer luck got her out. Lucia’s learned her lesson — only smart moves from here.
More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City — but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands.
Fresh out of prison and ready to change the odds in her favor, Lucia’s committed to her plan — no matter what it takes. A life with Jason could be her way out."
The other main character, Rockstar described Jason Duval as:
"Jason wants an easy life, but things just keep getting harder. Jason grew up around grifters and crooks. After a stint in the Army trying to shake off his troubled teens, he found himself in the Keys doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners. It might be time to try something new. Meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him. Jason knows how he'd like it to turn out but right now, it's hard to tell."
"What if everything on the internet was true? Jason’s friend and a fellow associate of Brian’s, Cal feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open. The psychopaths are in charge. Get used to it. Cal is at the low tide of America and happy there. Casual paranoia loves company, but his friend Jason has bigger plans."
"It's all about heart — the Jack of Hearts. Boobie is a local Vice City legend — and acts like it. One of the few to transform his time in the streets into a legitimate empire spanning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio — Boobie's all smiles until it's time to talk business.
Top quality cuts. Boobie might seem like he's just out for himself, but it's his partnership with the young aspiring music mogul Dre'Quan for Only Raw Records that he's most invested in — now they just need a hit."
"Only Raw... Records. Dre'Quan was always more of a hustler than a gangster. Even when he was dealing on the streets to make ends meet, breaking into music was the goal. You're with the label now. Now that he's signed the Real Dimez, Dre'Quan's days of booking acts into Boobie's strip club might be numbered as he sets his sights on the Vice City scene."
"Viral videos. Viral hooks. Bae-Luxe and Roxy aka Real Dimez have been friends since high school — girls with the savvy to turn their time shaking down local dealers into cold, hard cash via spicy rap tracks and a relentless social media presence. One hit away from fame. An early hit single with local rapper DWNPLY took Real Dimez to new heights. Now, after five years and a whole lot of trouble, they’re signed to Only Raw Records, hoping lightning can strike twice."
"Experience counts. Confidence, charm, and cunning — Raul’s a seasoned bank robber always on the hunt for talent ready to take the risks that bring the biggest rewards. A professional adapts. Raul's recklessness raises the stakes with every score. Sooner or later, his crew will have to double down or pull their chips from the table."
"Nothing better than a Mudslide at sunset. Brian's a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys. Still moving product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori, Brian's been around long enough to let others do his dirty work.
Looks like a Leonida beach bum — moves like a great white shark. Brian’s letting Jason live rent-free at one of his properties — so long as he helps with local shakedowns, and stops by for Lori’s sangria once in a while."
So far, the world of GTA 6 looks crazy, and these characters only further guarantee that. Awesome to hear Lucia has a history in Liberty City, there could be a lot of story connections from GTA 4 with that, or potential clues for GTA 7 (hear us out...Liberty City could be next!). Characters like Boobie and Dre'Quan also show that the music scene in Vice City is going to play a big part, which we're hyped for. Plus, there's a clear story to be told with Real Dimez and the other artist mentioned, DWNPLY. And of course, it wouldn't be a GTA game without some paranoid conspiracy theorists, drug runners and bank robbers, so the stage seems set for GTA 6 to take the franchise to new heights.
We'll update this page as we learn more about the plot and characters coming to GTA 6.
