Enthusiastic followers of the Grand Theft Auto franchise are eagerly anticipating updates on the highly anticipated sixth installment.
The much-awaited trailer is set to make its debut early next month, just in time for the holiday season. This revelation has sparked excitement among gamers, who are eager to uncover the forthcoming developments in the series.
Recent speculations suggest that GTA 6 might see a release either in late 2024 or early 2025, providing ample time for fans to prepare for the gaming experience.
Speculation has been rife among gamers, especially regarding a potential return to Vice City. Leaked footage purportedly from GTA 6 has fueled these speculations, showcasing a city remarkably reminiscent of the Grand Theft Auto version of Miami. Notably, a character was observed riding the Vice City Metro, further hinting at a return to the iconic location for the first time since Vice City Stories in 2006.
Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, citing a source from Rockstar, confirmed the authenticity of the leaked footage. While the footage displayed unfinished gameplay, it strongly indicates a return to Vice City.
The leaked content also introduced a female protagonist named Lucia, a groundbreaking inclusion for Grand Theft Auto’s single-player missions. Rumors circulate that the game may feature at least two protagonists with a ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ dynamic in their relationship, potentially reviving the character-switching mechanism from GTA 5.

Moreover, the latest leak suggests a novel addition to the series: the inclusion of a child character. Speculations indicate that Lucia might have a child, a character integral to the plot and featured in storyline cutscenes. Described as ‘much younger’ than anticipated, this addition echoes the introduction of children in GTA’s Vice City Stories, such as the newborn daughter of Louise Cassidy-Williams and Marty Jay Williams, Mary-Beth, and the teenager Jill Von Crastenburg.
Fans are intrigued by the possibility of Lucia embarking on a crime rampage with a baby in tow, considering the latest leak. The potential inclusion of a child character adds an interesting dynamic to the game’s narrative, creating anticipation among the gaming community.
