GTA 6 Trailer 2 Unveils Story, Vice City, and New Characters

Dive into the vibrant world of GTA 6's second trailer, which showcases the next-generation Vice City and introduces its eclectic cast of characters. Here, we explore the protagonists and the intriguing individuals that populate the sun-drenched streets of Vice City.

GTA 6 Second Trailer Out Now!

Meet Jason and Lucia

Rockstar Games has kept the gaming community buzzing with the latest developments on Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), especially after announcing a delay in its release to next year. To keep the excitement alive, the studio released the second trailer on May 6, giving fans a closer look at the next-gen Vice City and its residents.

The trailer delves deeper into the lives of the game's protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. GTA 6’s official website provides detailed backstories and motivations, setting the stage for their adventures in the bustling city.

The story synopsis on the website 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 Army soldier, is trying to outrun his troubled past. His journey leads him to Leonida Keys, where he now works for local drug runners. His meeting with Lucia could be a turning point, and he hopes it will be for the better.

Lucia, on the other hand, was raised in a tough environment, learning to fight from her father at a young age. Her rough upbringing landed her in Leonida Penitentiary. Fresh out of prison, she is determined to make smarter choices to provide a better life for her mother, a dream they shared back in Liberty City. A life with Jason might just be her ticket to turning things around. Players will follow Jason and Lucia's journey as they navigate the vibrant world of Leonida Keys.

A Conspiracy Theorist, Local Vice City Legend, Seasoned Bank Robber, and More

In addition to the protagonists, Rockstar Games introduces a diverse array of key characters. Among them is Jason's friend, Cal Hampton, a conspiracy theorist who believes everything he reads online. Despite his casual paranoia, he enjoys life in the Keys and plays a role in Jason's grander schemes.

Vice City's streets are ruled by local legend Boobie Ike, who transformed his street life into a legitimate empire, owning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio. The game also explores the music industry with characters like Dre’Quan and the music duo Real Dimez.

On the criminal side, Raul Bautista is a seasoned bank robber, always ready to take risks for the biggest rewards. Operating in the Keys, Brian Heder is a veteran drug runner who has been around for years. He allows Jason to live rent-free in one of his properties in exchange for help with local shakedowns.

The trailer hints at more characters, but those detailed by Rockstar Games so far showcase the rich tapestry of individuals living in the sunny side of Vice City.

Places in Vice City and New Screenshots

Vice City embodies "the glamour, hustle, and greed of America." First introduced in 2002's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and later in 2006's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, it draws inspiration from Miami, featuring beachfronts and vibrant parties.

The trailer highlights key locations such as the tropical archipelago of Leonida Keys, the vast wilderness of Grassrivers, the forgotten coast of Port Gellhorn, the bustling heart of Leonida in Ambrosia, and the iconic Mount Kalaga.

Rockstar Games also released new screenshots that showcase the game’s characters, settings, and scenes, reflecting the high-quality and detailed world that fans eagerly anticipate.
