While Rockstar has just released the second trailer for GTA 6, the American studio has also made a major update to the title's official website. An opportunity for players to learn more about the story, characters, and city of Vice City, our next playground.
If you've been following video game news closely, you probably know that Rockstar Games finally revealed the official release date for GTA 6 a few days ago. Suffice to say that the news has put off more than one person, since the American studio's behemoth will ultimately not be released this year. Indeed, we'll have to wait until May 26, 2026 to embark on this new adventure on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
As a small consolation, Rockstar concluded its press release with a laconic: "We look forward to sharing more information with you soon." Well, it didn't take long for the dads of Red Dead Redemption to speak out again.
For good reason, the developers have just released, to everyone's surprise, a brand new trailer for GTA 6. This time, the trailer focuses mainly on the male character of the story, namely Jason Duval, but also his partner, the sultry Lucia Caminos. A few excerpts that augur the very Bonny & Clide adopted by Rockstar for this new opus.
But in the process, Rockstar has also made a major update to the game's official website. This is an opportunity for us to learn more about the story, the characters, and also Vice City, the city that will serve as a playground for millions of players.
A gallery of colorful characters for GTA 6
Regarding Jason Duval, for example, we learn that he grew up among unsavory scammers and crooks. And despite a stint in the army in an attempt to leave his chaotic youth behind, he finally succumbed to the lure of delinquency in the Keys (editor's note: an archipelago of tropical islands near Miami, or in this case, Vice City). However, his meeting with Lucia will give new meaning to his life...For better or for worse.
For her part, Lucia Caminos clearly didn't have the same golden childhood. To take care of her family, she quickly learned to use her fists, which landed her in Leonida Penitentiary for a long stay behind bars. Now free, she intends to take charge of her life. And with Jason's help, nothing seems impossible.
We come to Cal Hampton, a character who is furiously reminiscent of Lester Crest from GTA V. A longtime friend of Jason, he visibly seems to be the geek of the group, preferring to stay quietly at home intercepting the coast guard's communications and the police with a few beers in hand.
Let's continue with Boobie Ike, a former drug dealer now at the head of a completely legal empire. Real estate, a strip club, a recording studio, all his activities allow him to quietly launder his dirty money. But he assures us that it's mainly a way for him to break into music as a producer with his label Only Raw Records.
Dre'Quan Priest is one of Boobie's close associates. An inveterate schemer, he has always dreamed of becoming the king of the dance floor. And now that he's signed the Real Dimez, he's hoping to put an end to the lousy gigs at Boobie's strip club and become a big player in Vice City's music scene.
The popularity of the Real Dimez has exploded in Vice City in recent years. These two friends, who were mainly involved in extorting money from small local drug dealers, decided to aim big by becoming rap stars. Thanks to their totally crazy and provocative songs and their permanent presence on social networks, they are the new queens of the city's nightlife.
Raul Bautista is more reminiscent of Neil McCauley, the character played by Robert de Niro in the cult film Heat. Like him, Raul is confident, charming, cunning, reckless, and disciplined. A veteran robber, he's always looking for the chance to retire under the coconut trees. And for his associates, they'll quickly have to make a choice: follow him or get out.
Brian Heder is an old hand. After enjoying the heyday of smuggling in the Keys swamps, he now uses his shipping company to ship cargo under the radar, while avoiding getting his hands dirty. A sort of sun-loving Barry Seal… with a serious penchant for firearms. Brian even lets Jason live for free in one of his properties, in exchange for a hand in his “operations”.
Rockstar has always been known for creating galleries of colorful characters, and for the moment those of GTA 6 seem to be in the direct lineage of the saga.
