The next Grand Theft Auto game has a second trailer coming almost a week after developer Rockstar announced it would be delaying GTA VI's release from later this year to May 2026.
The new trailer is almost three minutes long giving us a better glimpse of Vice City in the game and far more knowledge of the storyline to Rockstar's next big adventure. This second release gives us more backstory to the Bonnie and Clyde-like characters that were introduced in the first trailer.
Rockstar's new website for the game confirms the male protagonist's name is Jason, which has been previously leaked. He joins Lucia, who was named in the first trailer, and the two are romantically involved criminals who end up going on the run from the police. It wouldn't be a Grand Theft Auto game without criminal main characters.
A description of the story on Rockstar's website says, '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.'
Although the game is set within Vice City, there are further areas where the two main characters will likely explore when they're on the run. There are at least five other locations including Ambrosia, Grassrivers, Leonida Keys, Mount Kalaga, and Port Gellhorn.
Other characters introduced in this new trailer include Boobie Ike, Brian Heder. Cal Hampton, Dre'Quan Priest, Raul Bautista, and Real Dimez.
2002's GTA Vice City was set in a 1980's version of Miami, and the previous trailer confirmed that the game would be making a return to the same place, but with a storyline set in the modern day.
Last week, developer Rockstar confirmed it would be delaying the release of GTA VI from its previous 2025 date to May 26, 2026. The game is set to be released on Sony PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. There's currently no word on a PC release for GTA VI, which if Rockstar follows its normal pattern will come at a later date.
