Just a little more patience

The first trailer of Grand Theft Auto VI was released on Dec. 5, 2023. Since then, that video has been viewed more than 254 million times. The second trailer is expected to climb toward those numbers as well. The new release date is now May 26, 2026. Still some patience, but Rockstar Games is making fans happy with lots of new information, including about the game’s characters: Jason and Lucia.

Jason

Jason wants an easy life, but it gets harder and harder. Jason grew up among crooks and criminals. After a stint in the Army, trying to shake off his difficult teenage years, he ended up in the Keys doing what he did best: working for local drug dealers.

Lucia

Lucia’s father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk. Since then, life has been coming her way. Fighting for her family landed her in Leonida prison. Pure luck got her out.

The storyline of Grand Theft Auto VI

“Jason and Lucia have always known the odds are against them. But when an easy loot goes awry, they find themselves on the darkest side of America’s sunniest place, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida – forced to rely on each other more than ever if they are to make it out alive,” the official storyline reads.

Leonida

Rockstar Games is also releasing more information about the world in which Grand Theft Auto 6 is set: the fictional Leonida. This world has several regions.

Vice City

One such region is Vice City as the sun and entertainment capital of America. “The glamour, bustle and greed of America captured in one city. Every neighborhood has something to offer, from the pastel-colored Art Deco hotels and the snow-white sand of Ocean Beach to the bustling panaderías of Little Cuba and the illegal brands at the Tisha-Wocka flea market and VC Port, the cruise capital of the world.”

Leonida Keys

You also have Leonida Keys: “The dress code is casual, the bars are packed. Life on this tropical archipelago is not flashy, but it is easy. Brace yourself and grab a deck chair, but beware: you are right on one of the most beautiful and dangerous waters in all of America.”

Grassrivers

Grassrivers is another “continent” of Leonida. “The indomitable jewel of Leonida’s crown. You never know what lies beneath the surface of this ancient expanse. The alligators may be the most famous attraction, but there are far more deadly predators and stranger discoveries to be found among the mangroves,” Rockstar Games said.

Port Gellhorn

Port Gellhorn is Leonida’s forgotten coast. “Cheap motels, closed attractions and empty malls won’t bring back tourists, but there is a new economy in this once-popular vacation destination. Which runs on malt liquor, painkillers and energy drinks from truck stops. Hop on a dirt bike and hold on to your wallet.”

Ambrosia

In Ambrosia, the struggle for Leonida’s health and wealth begins. “In the heart of Leonida, American industry and old-fashioned values still rule – whatever the cost. The Allied Crystal sugar factory provides the jobs, while the local biker gang controls almost everything.”

Mount Kalaga

Mount Kalaga offers room to breathe on the state’s northern border. “Mount Kalaga, a national monument against the state’s northern border, offers excellent opportunities for hunting, fishing and off-roading. In the lush surrounding wilderness, hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals live far away from the prying eyes of the government.”
