New Trailer for GRAND THEFT AUTO VI Drops - Meet Jason, Lucia, and the Sunshine State’s Dark Underbelly
Well, Rockstar just stepped on the gas. The studio dropped a new trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, reigniting the hype machine after the game’s recent delay to May 2026. And while it’s still a long way off, the new footage gives us a sharper, grittier look at what’s coming, and who’s coming with it.
At the center of the chaos this time are Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval. The trailer kicks off with Lucia stepping out of prison, wasting no time diving back into a life of crime alongside Jason.
The duo’s Bonnie-and-Clyde dynamic seems to be the core of this story, and we’re not just talking petty theft. From back-alley brawls to full-blown heists, the trailer is packed with the kind of wild, anything-goes criminal sandbox Rockstar’s known for.
“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 appears to be caught between two worlds. His Rockstar character profile reveals that he "joined the Army to 'shake off his troubled teens,' only to wind up once again 'doing what he knows best, working for local drug runners.' He now dreams of aiming higher and doing 'something new.'"
Lucia, on the other hand, is pure fire. Her backstory reads like a punch to the gut as she "learned 'to fight as soon as she could walk'", a tough childhood that eventually landed her behind bars in Leonida, the sun-soaked, chaos-drenched new setting of GTA 6.
The game’s world isn’t just Vice City; Leonida appears to stretch far beyond those neon lights, teasing a truly massive map.
Oh, and there’s a tiny lore drop for longtime fans as Liberty City gets a brief shoutout in Lucia’s bio—"Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City."
And then there’s Cal Hampton, one of Jason’s buddies and a walking Reddit thread in human form. According to Rockstar: "Cal feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open."
That’s not exactly the kind of guy you want backing you up during a police chase, but it’s definitely the kind of guy who belongs in a GTA game.
The trailer itself pulses to The Pointer Sisters’ “Hot Together,” a high-energy contrast to the moody Tom Petty track that anchored Trailer 1. It’s faster, flashier, and more chaotic, hinting at the intensity that’s waiting behind the steering wheel.
The new trailer doesn’t answer every question, but it doesn't need to. It just reminds us why GTA is still the king of open-world crime and why May 2026 won’t come fast enough.
Enjoy the trailer!
