Rockstar Games has finally given fans what they have been so eagerly waiting for – the reveal of the new GTA 6 trailer, which showcases the upcoming game’s vibrant and chaotic character roster. GTA 6 is shaping up to be the most personality-packed entry of the franchise, considering the cast, including a conspiracy theorist hermit and beer-drinking GTA players, as well as a flamboyant, social media-obsessed rap duo. In addition to the trailer, Rockstar confirmed that the game is scheduled to launch in 2026, which sent the internet into a frenzy. The reveal exhibits the studio’s unwavering taste of satire, grit, and humour, showcasing what could be the most ambitious Grand Theft Auto title to date.

GTA 6 Delayed to Next Year
Grand Theft Auto 6 has been officially delayed to next year, following developer Rockstar Games's surprise announcement last Friday that its release would be postponed until 2019. While many fans were expecting its arrival this autumn, their long wait has taken less focus, at least temporarily! YouTube published the initial trailer back in December 2023, which quickly garnered over 100M views!
GTA 6's delayed launch sent shockwaves through the video games industry last week. Shares in Rockstar parent company Take-Two Interactive fell by 10% upon hearing this news; industry insiders had anticipated GTA 6 boosting console sales and breaking software sales records with its initial availability only on Xbox and PlayStation 5.
GTA 6 Trailer 2 Character Details
The second GTA 6 trailer gives us a peek into Jason and Lucia's lives, giving us more of an understanding of these characters from GTA 6. Here's an in-depth look at what was learned about them from this footage.
The trailer opens with another introduction of Jason, one of Vice City's brand new protagonists, engaging in what appears to be menial labour within Vice City. According to their game description, Jason and Lucia quickly find themselves caught up in a complex conspiracy across Leonida State that forces them closer together as teammates."
Survival will become even more crucial if they want to survive this tough environment.
Jason appears to start his journey toward a better life by collecting Lucia from prison, though some ambiguity remains about whether their criminal activities occurred before or after her imprisonment, suggesting an immediate return to crime, something familiar within Grand Theft Auto's universe. Jason then cruises vibrant streets before engaging in small store robberies and working out on sun-kissed beaches - classic GTA elements all.
Shortly after Jason is introduced in the trailer, Lucia makes her formal introduction as Jason arrives at the penitentiary to greet her upon her release.
GTA 6 Trailer 2 Gameplay Details
Once again, this trailer launches into an action-packed montage showing all the high-stakes adventures a couple becomes embroiled in, including elaborate heists, lively bar-hopping, underground fighting sessions and daring plane hijackings before being relentlessly pursued by police forces. While previous Grand Theft Auto iterations took place in stylised 1980s versions of Vice City, GTA 6 takes place firmly in the present day with its modern soundtrack, while paying homage to its roots by featuring nostalgic 80s music as its musical backdrop in its trailer.
The Grand Theft Auto series has also had a profound effect beyond gaming, especially on its soundtrack. GTA 6's trailer features Hot Together by 70s girl group the Pointer Sisters, while Tom Petty's Love is a Long Road saw a 36,000% spike when used in an earlier GTA 6 trailer, according to Spotify.
