GTA 6 Second Trailer Out Now!

Meet Jason and Lucia

Following the announcement of a release delay until next year, Rockstar Games released the second trailer for GTA 6 on May 6, giving fans a closer look at the revamped Vice City and its residents. The trailer focuses on the game's two protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, whose backgrounds and motivations are detailed on the official website.

The story synopsis teases, "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 trying to outrun his past, finds himself working for local drug runners in Leonida Keys. His meeting with Lucia could change everything, for better or worse. Lucia, who learned to fight from her father at a young age, spent time in Leonida Penitentiary due to her rough upbringing. Now free, she's determined to make smarter choices and improve her life and her mother's, hoping a new life with Jason will help her achieve that.

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

The trailer also introduces several intriguing supporting characters. Jason's friend Cal Hampton is a conspiracy theorist who trusts everything he reads online, yet remains a loyal ally in Jason's schemes. Boobie Ike, a local legend, transformed his street life into a legitimate empire, owning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio, suggesting a deep dive into the music industry with characters like Dre’Quan and the duo Real Dimez.

On the criminal side, Raul Bautista is a seasoned bank robber known for his high-risk, high-reward approach, while Brian Heder, a veteran drug runner, offers Jason rent-free accommodation in exchange for assistance in local shakedowns. These characters, along with others seen in the trailer, underscore the rich tapestry of life in Vice City.

Places in Vice City and New Screenshots

Vice City, inspired by Miami, encapsulates "the glamour, hustle, and greed of America." Originally featured in 2002's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and later in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories in 2006, this setting returns with new areas like the tropical Leonida Keys, the expansive Grassrivers, the forgotten coast of Port Gellhorn, the central hub of Ambrosia, and the iconic Mount Kalaga.

New screenshots released by Rockstar Games highlight the game's stunning visuals and detailed environments, promising an immersive experience. Despite the delay, these recent reveals have heightened anticipation for what could be the most ambitious GTA game yet.

Grand Theft Auto VI is now scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned to our updates for the latest news on this eagerly awaited title!
