A wave of new characters has arrived on the scene alongside the highly anticipated trailer for GTA 6.
In case you missed the debut on Monday evening, the first GTA 6 trailer unexpectedly went live a day earlier than planned due to an online leak. Here’s the quick rundown: it’s slated for a 2025 release, titled Grand Theft Auto VI, and it’s whisking us back to Vice City in the modern era.
The trailer brought forth the dual protagonists of the series: Lucia, the trailblazing first female lead in the longstanding franchise, seemingly of Latin American heritage. Her partner-in-crime, yet to be named, accompanies her through the bustling streets of Vice City via speedboat, sports car, and motorcycle. While the leaked September 2022 info referred to the male character as James or Jason, the trailer didn’t confirm his name. Nevertheless, the footage strongly hints at a romantic connection between the two, portraying a Bonnie and Clyde-esque relationship as they speed away in a likely stolen car.
While Lucia and her partner take the spotlight, the trailer does briefly showcase other GTA 6 characters. There’s a moment featuring two unfamiliar characters in an intimate embrace, and later, a scantily clad woman enjoying a rooftop party. The trailer also offers glimpses of a diverse cast engaged in various activities, including some quirky moments for social media, alongside a fitting Florida touch with a fair share of alligators.
