The second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI arrived in May 2025. It revealed the full names of its protagonists: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. A criminal couple. A romance built on poor decisions and excellent timing. Vice City glitters in the background, neon-soaked, sun-damaged, and entirely too alive.
GTA VI is set in the fictional state of Leonida — Rockstar's interpretation of Florida — and marks the first time a mainline GTA title has featured a female protagonist. Lucia is not decoration. She appears to be the gravitational centre of the entire story.
Twelve years
Grand Theft Auto V was released in 2013. GTA VI is the first mainline entry since. Twelve years of anticipation, leaks, speculation, and one historically catastrophic data breach that revealed the game years before Rockstar intended.
The original Grand Theft Auto was a top-down chaos engine. Pixelated, absurd, and deeply committed to the bit. From those origins grew the most commercially successful entertainment product ever made. GTA V has sold over 200 million copies.
GTA VI carries that weight. Whether it can carry it gracefully remains to be seen.
What we know
Jason and Lucia as dual protagonists. Vice City and wider Leonida as the setting. A world Rockstar promises is more reactive than anything before. No PC release date confirmed at launch. Console first.
Kage does not rush. Neither does Rockstar. Usually.
