Rockstar Games released a new trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 on May 6th, 2025. This comes after news that the game will release on May 26th, 2026. The trailer shows more about the game world and characters.

Dual Protagonists: The Bonnie & Clyde Dynamic

The trailer features both main characters – Lucia and Jason. Players will control both characters in a partnership reminiscent of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde.

Jason appears more prominently in this trailer than in the first one. He seems to be a more traditional GTA character, possibly with a decent heart beneath the criminal exterior.

Exploring Leonida: A Massive Game World

The game world, Leonida, is Rockstar’s version of Florida. It includes several distinct areas:

  • Vice City: The main urban center and reimagining of Miami
  • Port Ghorn: A rural area with a rougher population
  • Leonida Keys: Perfect for boating and underwater exploration
  • Grass Rivers: Swamplands populated with alligators
  • Ambrosia: An industrial town with its own character
  • Mount Kalaga National Park: A wilderness area for hunting

Criminal Activities: Focus on Robberies

Robberies appear to be a central gameplay element. The first trailer showed a gas station robbery, while this one features a larger bank heist complete with intense police chases and shootouts. This suggests that escalating criminal enterprises will be a core part of the narrative.

Law Enforcement: A New Antagonist?

Interestingly, a police character appears alone in one scene, which is unusual for GTA trailers. This suggests this officer might be a main antagonist who pursues the protagonists throughout the story.

Transportation and Mechanics

The trailer showcases an impressive variety of vehicles including:

  • Motorcycles
  • Helicopters
  • Planes (including a large jet)
  • Airboats
  • Jet skis

A notable new mechanic appears to be characters exiting vehicles while they’re still in motion – jumping from motorcycles onto trucks or car hoods. This hints at more dynamic vehicle interactions than in previous titles.

New Characters and Voice Talent

Several new characters make appearances:

  • Real Dimes
  • Raul Batista (described as a tough character)
  • Daquan Priest (possibly an artist)
  • Cal Hampton (appearing as a goofy friend)
  • Brian Heder (an older criminal voiced by actor Steven Root)
  • Booby Ike (seemingly in a boss role)

The involvement of recognizable voice talent suggests Rockstar continues its tradition of bringing in established actors.

Mini-Games and Side Activities

The trailer hints at several side activities:

  • Lucia appears to perform community service as part of her parole
  • Fishing seems to be included, with Jason shown with a fishing rod
  • In-game television shows and commercials return
  • Various weapons are displayed, including a grenade launcher, MP5s, and an AR-15

While fans still have a year to wait until the May 2026 release date, this new trailer provides plenty of exciting details about what promises to be another groundbreaking entry in the Grand Theft Auto series.

The expanded world, dual protagonists, and hints of new gameplay mechanics all suggest Rockstar is aiming to deliver another landmark gaming experience.
