Two Instantly Iconic Protagonists
The trailer confirms the protagonists as Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, a criminal duo navigating the fictional state of Leonida, centered around the Miami-inspired Vice City. The story begins with Jason, a former soldier turned drug runner, picking up Lucia from prison, where she served time for “protecting her family.” Their attempt at an “easy score” spirals into a sprawling criminal conspiracy, forcing them to rely on each other amidst heists, betrayals, and a vibrant, chaotic world.
Rockstar’s website describes their dynamic as a modern Bonnie-and-Clyde tale, with Jason seeking an “easy life” and Lucia potentially being his “best or worst” influence. This narrative focuses on trust and survival, setting GTA VI apart from its predecessors. And of course, the duo’s aesthetic has already gone viral.

An Impeccable Open World Upgrade
Visually, the trailer showcases Vice City’s evolution from its 1980s iteration, blending neon-lit urban sprawl with diverse locales like Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, and the Tisha-Wocka flea market. The open world extends beyond the city to include areas like the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Galaha, promising the “biggest, most immersive” GTA experience yet.
Screenshots reveal wildlife, vehicles like Vapid’s El Camino-inspired car and Dinka’s LurePredator boat, and establishments such as Ammu-Nation, now owned by a reimagined Phil Cassidy from earlier GTA titles. The trailer’s PlayStation 5 footage spotlights its cutting-edge graphics, with detailed environments and dynamic NPC interactions—it’s basically everything we could want and more.

Now, as fans continue to dissect every frame, one question lingers: Will Rockstar confirm GTA VI Online, the multiplayer juggernaut that could redefine the series’ social chaos? Until then, the trailer has already ignited a cultural firestorm, keeping Vice City’s neon glow burning bright.
