GTA 6 Second Trailer Unveils New Characters, Backstories, and Postponed Release Date

Rockstar Games has dropped the highly anticipated second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, offering fans an expanded look into the game’s key characters, storylines, and setting. Although originally promised for a Fall 2025 debut, the game’s release has now been officially pushed to May 2026.

As one of the most awaited sequels in gaming history, GTA VI revisits the neon-soaked chaos of Vice City with a modern twist. Confirming earlier rumors, the narrative follows a Bonnie-and-Clyde-inspired crime saga centered around two leads—Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.

Meet the Central Duo

Jason Duval, a product of Vice City's criminal underbelly, is portrayed as someone yearning for a simple life despite his past. Having served in the Army to escape a troubled youth, he now operates in the Leonida Keys—a fictionalized version of Florida Keys—where he once worked with local drug traffickers. His relationship with Lucia could be either a lifeline or a downfall.

Lucia Caminos emerges from prison in the trailer, greeted by Jason. Her backstory reveals a tumultuous past shaped by loyalty to her family and a father who trained her to fight from a young age. Now, she's determined to rewrite her future, no matter the cost—potentially with Jason by her side.

Supporting Characters Revealed

• Cal Hampton: Jason's laid-back friend who spends his days listening to Coast Guard chatter and nursing conspiracy theories.

• Boobie Ike: A reformed street figure turned businessman, now invested in the music industry through his label, Only Raw Records.

• Dre’Quan Priest: A former club performer turned rapper, Dre’Quan is making waves with a new deal from Real Dimez.

• Real Dimez and Bae Luxe: High school friends turned musical entrepreneurs, using street smarts and social media to build their brand.

• Raul Bautista: A seasoned, daring bank robber always in search of thrill-seeking partners.

• Brian Heder and Lori: A veteran smuggler from the golden age of Vice City crime, Brian now relies on others—like Jason—for the dirty work, while his wife Lori keeps things lively.

The new trailer is action-packed, showcasing high-speed pursuits, daring flights, and tense heists—hinting at a deeper conspiracy between Jason and Lucia as they navigate the violent world of Leonida.

With GTA VI now officially delayed, fans can at least sink their teeth into the rich character lore and cinematic storytelling teased so far. Vice City is back—and it’s more dangerous than ever.
