Dive into the vibrant world of Vice City with the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6). This latest reveal introduces us to the game's protagonists and the diverse characters that populate the sun-soaked streets of Vice City. Let's explore what this trailer brings to the table.
GTA 6 Second Trailer Out Now!
Meet Jason and Lucia
Following a much-discussed delay, Rockstar Games released the second trailer for GTA 6 on May 6, showcasing the next-generation rendition of Vice City and its inhabitants. This trailer delves deeper into the lives of the game's two protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, whose detailed backstories are available on the official GTA 6 website.
The narrative unfolds with Jason and Lucia finding themselves entangled in a criminal conspiracy in Leonida, the state where Vice City is located. The official synopsis reveals, "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, is trying to leave his troubled past behind but finds himself working for local drug runners in Leonida Keys. His encounter with Lucia could change his life for better or worse. Lucia, on the other hand, learned to fight from her father at a young age. After a stint in Leonida Penitentiary, she's determined to make smart moves to secure a better life for her mother, whom she left behind in Liberty City. Her connection with Jason might be her ticket to a new beginning.
A Conspiracy Theorist, Local Vice City Legend, Seasoned Bank Robber, and More
The trailer also introduces a host of intriguing characters that add depth to the GTA 6 universe. Jason's friend Cal Hampton is a conspiracy theorist who trusts everything he reads online, yet he's a loyal ally in Jason's schemes. Vice City's local legend, Boobie Ike, has transformed his street life into a legitimate empire, owning real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio. The game promises to delve into the music scene with characters like Dre’Quan and the duo Real Dimez.
On the darker side, Raul Bautista, a seasoned bank robber, and Brian Heder, a long-time drug runner, embody the criminal undercurrents of Vice City. Brian even offers Jason a rent-free place to stay in exchange for assistance in local shakedowns. These characters, among others seen in the trailer, highlight the rich tapestry of life in Vice City.
Places in Vice City and New Screenshots
Vice City, inspired by Miami, captures the essence of "the glamour, hustle, and greed of America."

Rockstar Games also released new screenshots, showcasing the high-quality graphics and attention to detail that fans have come to expect. These images highlight the game's characters, diverse locations, and dynamic scenes, setting the stage for what might be the most immersive GTA experience yet.
Despite the delay, the latest reveals have kept the anticipation high. Grand Theft Auto VI is now scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned for more updates and insights into this eagerly awaited title!
