GTA 6 Second Trailer Out Now!
Meet Jason and Lucia
Following the announcement of a release delay to next year, Rockstar Games has thrilled fans with the release of GTA 6's second trailer on May 6. This trailer delves deeper into the next-gen rendition of Vice City and introduces us to the game’s protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.
According to the official GTA 6 website, the storyline follows Jason and Lucia, who are well aware of their challenging circumstances. Their narrative takes a dramatic turn when a simple heist goes awry, plunging them into a criminal conspiracy that spans the state of Leonida. The synopsis reads, "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 Duval, a former soldier with a troubled past, finds himself working for local drug runners in Leonida Keys. His meeting with Lucia could mark a turning point in his life, for better or worse.
Lucia Caminos, having learned to fight from a young age, spent time in Leonida Penitentiary due to her rough upbringing. Freshly released, she is determined to make smarter choices to secure a better life for her and her mother, a dream they cherished since their days in Liberty City. A life with Jason might just be her ticket to a brighter future.
Players will embark on an engaging journey with Jason and Lucia, alongside the vibrant characters that inhabit the sunny Leonida Keys.
A Conspiracy Theorist, Local Vice City Legend, Seasoned Bank Robber, and More
The second trailer also introduces several key characters that add depth to the GTA 6 universe. Among them is Cal Hampton, Jason's friend and a conspiracy theorist who trusts everything he reads online. Despite his quirky beliefs, Cal remains a steadfast supporter of Jason's ambitions in the Keys.
Boobie Ike, a local legend, has transformed his street life into a legitimate empire, now owning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio. The game hints at an exploration of the music industry, featuring characters like Dre’Quan and the music duo Real Dimez.
On the darker side of Vice City, Raul Bautista stands out as a seasoned bank robber, always ready to take high-risk ventures for substantial rewards. Meanwhile, Brian Heder runs a smuggling operation in the Keys, offering Jason a rent-free home in exchange for assistance in local shakedowns.
With these characters and more, GTA 6 showcases the rich tapestry of life in Vice City, promising a diverse and engaging narrative experience.
