Publisher Rockstar Games broke a lot of gamers’ hearts last week when it said Grand Theft Auto 6 was being pushed to next year. As a bit of a consolation prize, the company dropped a new trailer and shared new details about the game.
The second trailer for GTA 6 went live Tuesday, and Rockstar published a treasure trove of info about the game. This includes the name of the mystery second protagonist from the game as well as some of the other characters players will interact with, and what different locales in the fictional Leonida will be available to visit.
All Grand Theft Auto 6 Characters
It wouldn’t be a GTA game without a large cast of characters.
Jason and Lucia
The two heroes of GTA 6. Jason Duval has been working for drug runners after doing some time in the Army. He met up with Lucia Caminos, who, as of the time of the trailer, is getting out of Leonida Penitentiary after spending some time due to some unknown crime that involved protecting her family. It’s unclear if the two characters will be playable throughout the game. More than likely, both characters will have their own missions, while others will have them both be playable at different points in a mission.
Cal Hamption
A friend of Jason’s who’s a conspiracy theorist. He’s extremely online and spends time snooping on law enforcement. As is the case with most friends in GTA games, expect to do a few missions for him at certain points in the game.
Boobie Ike
A Vice City legend, Boobie is a former street thug who is now a businessman with an empire spanning real estate, a strip club and a recording studio. He has a partnership with music mogul Dre’Quan for Only Raw Records, and they’re looking for a hit song.
Dre’Quan Priest
A street hustler trying to make it big in music. He used to book acts for Boobie’s strip club, but is looking to make a name for himself with his music act, Real Dimez.
Real Dimez
Bae-Luxe and Roxy are two girls who met in high school and do their share of making viral content for social media. They had a hit single five years ago with local rapper DWNPLY, and they’re trying to recreate that success.
Raul Bautista
Raul is a professional bank robber who takes a lot of risks. He could be the one to recruit Jason and Lucia for a big score that goes all wrong.
Brian Heder
Brian is the first person we see in the new trailer. He’s likely to be one of the first NPCs to use both Jason and Lucia to do some of his dirty work.
All Grand Theft Auto 6 Locations Confirmed in Leonida
With GTA 5 taking place in Los Santos and surrounding areas, it looks like Rockstar is going to go even bigger with GTA 6. The game’s setting is the state of Leonida, the fictional version of Florida. It will include some time in the big city as well as surrounding areas, including the coasts and swamplands.
Vice City
The heart of the game will likely be Vice City, a parody of Miami, once again a setting for a GTA game. Unlike GTA: Vice City, which was set in the 1980s, this version of the city will be very up-to-date. Expect to spend some time on the beach, in the clubs, in the Little Cuba neighborhood and at the VC Port.
Leonida Keys
A take on the Florida Keys, Leonida Keys is going to be the place to spend some time in the water, likely running away from the Coast Guard while riding a speeding motorboat.
Grassrivers
It wouldn’t be a proper game in a fictional Florida without some version of the Everglades. Grassrivers is swamp country, where gators sneak around, and the locals are just as dangerous.
Port Gellhorn
One of the smaller cities in Leonida is Port Gellhorn, a take on Key West. This is a rundown town where it’s easier to find painkillers than a good time.
Ambrosia
Aside from Rockstar’s description, it’s hard to really put a finger on Ambrosia’s real-life counterpart. Although the game labels Ambrosia the «heart of Leonida,» some GTA fans on the game’s subreddit suggest the city could be St. Augustine or Clewiston, both cities in Florida.
Mount Kalaga
Like Ambrosia, this is one that’s a bit hard to find the real-life counterpart. Its description says it has lush wooded areas for fishing, hunting and off-roading, while also being the home to hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals.
GTA 6 is set for release on May 26, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. The price has not been announced.
