Dive into the vibrant world of Vice City with the second trailer of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), showcasing its next-generation features and the diverse characters that populate this sun-soaked city. Let's explore the protagonists and the intriguing cast that enrich the game's narrative.
GTA 6 Second Trailer Out Now!
Meet Jason and Lucia
Following the announcement of a release delay to next year, Rockstar Games unveiled GTA 6’s second trailer on May 6. This trailer not only reintroduces us to the revamped Vice City but also delves deeper into the lives of the game's protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.
The story synopsis on GTA 6’s official website captures the essence of their journey: "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, finds himself entangled with local drug runners in Leonida Keys. His meeting with Lucia might just be the turning point he needs, or his downfall.
Lucia, on the other hand, learned survival skills from her father early on. Her time in Leonida Penitentiary only fueled her determination to make smarter moves for a better life for her and her mother, whom she hopes to provide the life they dreamed of in Liberty City. Now, with Jason by her side, she aims to change her fate.
A Conspiracy Theorist, Local Vice City Legend, Seasoned Bank Robber, and More
The trailer also introduces a colorful array of supporting characters. Jason's friend, Cal Hampton, is a conspiracy theorist whose paranoia doesn't stop him from enjoying life in the Keys and helping Jason with his plans.
Boobie Ike, a local legend, has transformed his street life into a legitimate empire, controlling real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio. The music industry plays a significant role with characters like Dre’Quan and the music duo Real Dimez.
On the darker side, Raul Bautista is a seasoned bank robber always ready for high-risk operations, while Brian Heder, a veteran drug runner, allows Jason to live rent-free in exchange for help with local shakedowns. These characters, among others, add depth and intrigue to the vibrant world of Vice City.
