GTA 6 Second Trailer Is Now Live!
Introducing Jason and Lucia
Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) continues to dominate discussions, especially with Rockstar Games announcing a postponement of its eagerly awaited release to next year. In response, the studio released the second GTA 6 trailer on May 6, highlighting the next-gen Vice City and its inhabitants.
The video offers deeper insights into the game's central pair, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. GTA 6’s official website reveals their backstories and driving forces as they tackle the fast-paced life of Vice City.
The official description explains, "Jason and Lucia have always faced a stacked deck. When an easy job goes sideways, they plunge into the dark underbelly of America’s sunniest location—caught in a sprawling criminal web across Leonida. Their survival hinges on relying on each other like never before."
Jason is described as an ex-Army soldier striving to escape past troubles but ends up in the Leonida Keys, working for local drug traffickers. His meeting with Lucia could bring salvation or ruin—he hopes for the former.
Lucia learned to defend herself from her father at a young age. A challenging upbringing eventually landed her in Leonida Penitentiary. Post-release, she pledges to make calculated decisions to create the comfortable life she and her mother envisioned back in Liberty City.
Now free, Lucia seeks to shift the odds in her favor, and a partnership with Jason might be her escape route. Players will witness Lucia and Jason’s saga alongside the eclectic locals of sunny Leonida Keys.
From a Conspiracy Theorist to a Vice City Icon and a Veteran Bank Robber
Rockstar Games also spotlighted key secondary characters. Among them is Jason’s friend Cal Hampton, a conspiracy enthusiast who trusts all online information. Despite his constant suspicion, he enjoys life in the Keys and supports Jason's ambitions.
Boobie Ike, a prominent Vice City figure, transformed his rough background into a legal empire with real estate holdings, a strip club, and a music studio. The game delves into the music scene through characters like Dre’Quan and the duo Real Dimez.
Others reflect the criminal lifestyle: Raul Bautista, an experienced bank robber always chasing high-risk, high-reward opportunities, and Brian Heder, a long-standing drug smuggler operating in the Keys. Brian provides Jason free lodging in exchange for assistance with local extortion tasks.
Though the trailer hints at more figures, Rockstar’s current details emphasize the eclectic ensemble animating Vice City’s sun-drenched streets.
