missed it, Rockstar Games dropped a new trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6. Yes, after the recent news that the game has been pushed to May 26th of the year, 2026. Uh, thankfully, they gave us a trailer and some juicy stuff to really chew on. Juicy stuff to chew on. I look, I probably could have used a better phrase, but either way, we got 10 things weāre breaking down. really interesting, cool new bits of details and speculation for this game. So, letās get started off with number 10. The second protagonist has technically been revealed. This is the big one. Itās been long speculated that this game would have dual protagonists. And while this trailer doesnāt completely confirm it because it doesnāt show any obvious gameplay. You know, thereās no HUD or clearly defined character switching or anything, itās pretty obvious from what we see that youāll be playing as both Jason, who gets the spotlight in this trailer for the most part, and Lucia, who was revealed back in trailer 1. He looks like heās like a big buff boy living out in the Florida Keys and seems like heāll be closer to your traditional GTA protagonist whoās more of a decent guy at heart. You know, kind of that lovable criminal thing. Obviously, youāre still capable of going on rampages and being a huge dick, but from this trailer, his personality looks closer to someone like Carl from San Andreas rather than like Trevor from GTA 5. It looks like the leaks are generally true regarding his character and role in the story. The trailer makes it pretty explicit that weāre looking at a Bonnie and Clyde cut in dynamic here with Jason and Lucia, which is an interesting direction to take the series. Next, at number nine, one of the most exciting new details weāve learned from, uh, the big drop here, we got a trailer and like a bunch of different like press details and screenshots and stuff like that. So, look those up if you want to see more. But, uh, what we did get from this, the most important thing is new locations thatāll be in GTA 6. This is, of course, as you know, Leonida. Itās GTA 6ās only slightly exaggerated version of Florida. And with this new information weāve been given, it seems like this is going to be a big ass place. There is, of course, Vice City with all its beaches, resorts, clubs, and less than fancy, like, you know, more lowerass neighborhoods. But thatās just the start of whatās in this game. Thereās the more rural Port Ghorn with like what seems to be like rednecks selling pills and hanging around flaming barrels and bikers and stuff. Uh, thereās the Leonida Keys with all its party boats and retirees and underwater reef diving. The Grass Rivers with its backwoods charms and abundance of gators. Ambrosia, which looks like more of an industrial town with smoke stacks and a biker gang. And Mount Kalaga National Park, which has outdoor activities and wild animals and hunting. Some of this stuff looks like it comes right out of Red Dead. The visuals are just nuts here. And thatās just a taste of whatās probably going to be in the game. Thereās probably going to be even more, but either way, these are kind of like the breakdowns of the main regions. So, you get some city, you get some zany suburb stuff, you get some stuff out in the Florida Everglades, you get some hunting in the mountains and crazy chaos in the backwoods, factory towns. It it just seems like theyāre checking all the boxes for varied locations. And thatās good. At least from the trailer and all the info Rockstar dropped alongside it, weāve got the best picture so far of just how big this worldās probably going to be. Next, at number eight, where GTA 5ās big gimmick was the heists, itās looking more and more likely that the leaks were true and the focus of GTA 6 will be robberies. The first trailer showed a gas station stickup, of course. While trailer 2 steps things up with a much higher stake job, what looks like a bank that looks like it goes on to like a full-on Heat style shootout, which has to be in the game. I mean, heat homages are just kind of a tradition at this point. Also, itās one of the best movies ever, so they should reference it. Itās perfect. But look, they might be like leaning even more into it with an actual cop antagonist of some kind. We see a cop for a few seconds in the trailer who appears to be in a cutscene where the protagonists arenāt present, which is actually pretty unusual for a GTA game, which kind of makes us want to go into some like wild theories, but we donāt want to get nuts yet making wild claims like heās actually some secret third protagonist or thereās more of like an undercover cop or a mole thing. Look, we donāt know for sure yet, but it does make us wonder just what this guyās purpose in the story is. Maybe itās just to give the proceedings more of a cops and robbers vibe. you know, like you actually get to see whoās pursuing your main protagonists here. Like the feeling that theyāre just constantly being hunted, that alone would be a cool direction to take things. And as you know, over the years, probably from San Andreas on, Rockstar has really dived deeper and deeper into real, real cohesive and nuanced storytelling. So, Iām curious to see what the extra layer is here. This could be a hint towards that. Next at number seven, watching TV is back. It seems yes, itās been a consistent part of the series since GTA 4, but itās good to see that like watching television is back in GTA 6. Thereās a moment in the trailer where it stops to show an ammunition commercial, but the way itās framed makes it pretty clear that this looks like itās in game with the way the camera is locked down for the entire segment. Again, speculation, not confirmed, but really itās just a clue as to like GTA 6ās attitude, how it does satire, how it pokes fun at stuff. We canāt wait to see how far they go with the TV stuff. Itās always a highlight in these games, just seeing all the effort they put into the most mundane and pointless details. And itās possible that this gameās television stuff will be the most ambitious scene in the series up to this point. Itās probably safe to say that it will be, but who knows? But weāre going off of this and also all the zany TV antics and news story stuff we saw from the first trailer. Next at number six, speaking of ammunition, we got a much better look at a lot of the guns that are going to be in the game. Uh the grenade launcher shown was the flashiest, of course, but during the robbery, we see Jason and Lucia using MP5s, which are like a staple of the series at this point. Uh Jasonās using what looks to be a Beretta in one scene. Thereās an attack helicopter that looks like a little bird with rockets and a machine gun attachment. The included screenshots that weāve seen that released uh include a bunch of handguns, but significantly we see Jason using an AR-15 in one shot and more importantly a fishing rod in another. Clearly the deadliest weapon, but does this mean that there will be some kind of fishing miniame? It makes sense in, you know, being set in Florida. They could just port over the one from Red Dead Redemption 2 and it would probably be pretty good. Next, at number five, this trailer showed off a lot of new vehicles, which uh some of which weāve seen before, but thereās focus on motorcycles, helicopters, fixedwing aircraft, and cool stuff like airboats and jet skis. There also appears to just be more stuff we can do with them. Thereās a quick moment with a grenade launcher that appears to be from a vehicle and another moment where youāre dragging what looks like a vault behind a truck by a winch, which dude, Iām just saying Fast and Furious or the series or really Fast Five was absolutely the best of that franchise. And if they can recreate that scene where theyāre dragging the bank vault through city streets, slamming into police cars, one of the best car chase heist things ever, I would love to see that. Now, what really interests us is, can you fly that jumbo jet 747 thing that we see here? Are we finally getting a little bit of that San Andreas energy back in here? Iād love to see that. And that fight on the plane moment kind of makes me think that thereās possibilities that we may actually get to fly something that big this time around. Now, at number four, look, one small but significant detail that we noticed in the trailer is how often they show someone exiting a vehicle while driving. Thereās a moment in the trailer where Jason jumps off a motorcycle to get onto a moving truck and another bit where it looks like he jumps onto the hood of a moving vehicle. Now, look, this is a lot of speculation. Itās impossible not to with how little Rockstar has given us, but like these moments lead us to believe that there could possibly be some kind of new hijack mechanic in GTA 6. It could make some degree of sense, especially if thereās possibility where you can switch between these characters. Like if theyāre both always together, like how this trailer makes it look, then youāll have one character driving the car while the other can shoot guns or possibly jump from one moving vehicle to another in a way that is still over the top, but doesnāt completely break reality like most games with this sort of mechanic. Or like how itās usually done in games. You drive up and then a canned animation, you see the character jump. Like if you could actually do that yourself, that would be really fun. We donāt know if this is actually going to be a thing, but itās exciting to think about nonetheless. Now, at number three, if this trailer revealed one thing, itās a lot of new characters. So, in the first trailer, we got Lucia, but here weāre getting a whole lot of people to fill out the cast and give a few clues as to where the story might be going. Now, the trailer doesnāt give us that many names, but the all the additional info that Rockstar Games released does. So, weāll just quickly run through all the character reveals. Thereās Real Dimes, who kind of looks like a party girl or like a diva or like a superstar or something like that. Donāt know what her role could be. Uh Raul Batista, looks like your traditional GTA heavy. I canāt tell if heās an ally or an enemy, but he looks pretty intense. Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval again are the protagonist. Thereās the full names. Uh we already know about them. Then thereās Daquan Priest who looks like a playboy. I donāt know if heās like a party guy. You know, not too much to go on here, but one of the screenshots provided does put him in a recording studio, so he might be some sort of artist. One character who appeared prominently in the trailers was Cal Hampton, who looks like heās going to be filling out kind of like the goofy friend role for Jason. This kind of character could potentially be annoying, but then again, GTA 5 gave us Lamar, and a lot of the games have done this well. So Rockstar has been pretty solid with the comic relief side characters. A lot of people are speculating that heās Matty Mat, you know, famous chef or one of the Fat Brothers from the Bear. But either way, whoever the hell he is, in one point, uh, in one screenshot, heās got a shirt that says, āViolence is good. Thanks, video games.ā And I just love that heās officially my favorite character. Now, next up is Brian Heder. Uh, another guy who appears pretty prominently in the trailers. Heās the older dude who looks like heās got some criminal connections, but most importantly, heās voiced by the always awesome Steven Root, which means that celebrity voices are probably back in GTA 6, which is a a pleasant surprise. I mean, Mr. Root isnāt quite like this top tier A-lister. Heās a character actor, but still, thatās Hollywood talent right there. And I bet more of these characters have other celebrities doing their voices, but we just donāt recognize them or theyāre not officially confirmed or anything like yet. Now, the final character revealed from uh the additional information is Booby Ike, who looks like kind of a big shot, like a boss guy, but again, we donāt really have any clue what his deal is. So, where does that leave us? Well, at least we know a lot of names, thatās for sure. Now, down at number two, character customization. Itās something we assumed would be in the game again. I mean, itās in all the recent GTA games to some extent, but this trailer at least confirms that there will be some form of customization. And I donāt just mean getting to pick different outfits. Now, the Jason shown in the trailer has his head shaved, but in some of the screenshots provided by Rockstar, heās got longer hair. Itās not super long, but itās not buzzed, which means uh that maybe we can change hairstyles. Itās possible that the game goes full-on Red Dead 2 on us with hair growing in real time that needs to be maintained. Or maybe not. But either way, there could be something cool here. One thing thatās got us really interesting is that trailer 2 showed some weightlifting for a second. And it got us thinking, the Jason we see in trailer 2 looks a lot more jacked than he does in trailer 1. Could that mean that weightlifting is back from San Andreas and we can actually make Jason like more doughy or more big and jacked depending on how much he lifts? You know, itās possible that itās just a graphical thing. I mean, itās been more than a year since that first trailer. Maybe they just changed his look, his model, but it would be amazing if they actually had working out and exercising again. Maybe even so you can make it like you can get real fat if you overeat. I donāt know. I always thought that was fun in those games. Maybe wishful thinking, maybe speculation, but it was just little eagle-eyed things like that we want to point out here. Now, down at number one, community service. Yes, it wouldnāt be a modern GTA game without some boring, tedious mini games that replicate real life just a little too closely. And in GTA 6, it looks like weāll get to experience at least a little bit of community service as Lucia. There are multiple scenes that imply that sheās doing community service as part of her parole. Thereās that moment where she comes into the house in a yellow vest. And later, we get a quick clip of uh people picking up trash on the side of the road, all wearing yellow. Is there going to be some kind of trash picking miniame similar to mopping floors in GTA 5 or, you know, working at the port? I hope so. I love it when games like sprinkle in these little weird activities. I know theyāre intentionally dull and kind of annoying, but itās just part of the weird charm of Rockstar games at this point. Overall, 10 points aside, this is pretty like exciting as a trailer. As much as I wish we just got raw gameplay, it seems like that thatās not really what Rockstar does at this point. We did get lots of cool looks at like things like action scenes, character scenes, a bit of the story, bit of the characters, the beautiful locations, and the fact that apparently this is all running and captured on a base PS5. Technically very impressive. But of course, we got to judge the final game when we get our hands on it. But Thereās a lot of interesting fan theories and fan speculation. Some stuff we didnāt have time to go into. So, let us know your thoughts, any opinions, any little things you noticed at all down in the comments.
