GTA 6 Second Trailer Now Available!
Meet Jason and Lucia
Following a delay in its highly anticipated release, Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) has been the center of attention. Rockstar Games released the second trailer on May 6, offering fans a glimpse into the revamped Vice City and its inhabitants.
The trailer introduces the game's protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Their backstories and motivations are detailed on GTA 6's official website, setting the stage for their journey through the bustling streets of Vice City.
The official story synopsis states, "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 with a troubled past, now finds himself working for local drug runners in Leonida Keys. His meeting with Lucia could be pivotal, and he hopes it leads to a better future.
Lucia, having learned to fight from her father at a young age, faced a rough upbringing that led her to the Leonida Penitentiary. Fresh out of prison, she's determined to make smarter choices to provide a better life for her mother, a dream they shared since their days in Liberty City. A life with Jason might just be the key to turning her fortunes around. Players will follow their journey amidst the vibrant backdrop of Leonida Keys.
A Conspiracy Theorist, Local Vice City Legend, Seasoned Bank Robber, and More
In addition to the protagonists, the trailer introduces several key characters that enrich the game's narrative. 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, aiding him in his larger schemes.
Boobie Ike, a local legend, 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 with characters like Dre’Quan and the duo Real Dimez.
On the darker side of Vice City, Raul Bautista is a seasoned bank robber, always ready to take risks for big rewards. Meanwhile, Brian Heder runs a smuggling operation in the Keys and provides Jason with rent-free housing in exchange for help with local shakedowns.
These characters, along with others featured in the trailer, highlight the diverse and vibrant world of Vice City in GTA 6.
