GTA 6 Delayed to 2026: New Trailer Reveals Jason and Lucia’s Storyline

GTA 6 fans have been waiting for what feels like forever, and now the news is official: the game won’t be launching until 2026. That stings. But Rockstar isn’t leaving us completely empty-handed. They’ve just dropped a brand-new trailer that gives us a juicy look at what’s coming — and let’s just say, it was worth the wait.

What’s in the new GTA 6 trailer?

The trailer doesn’t just show off the game’s stunning visuals (which are next level, by the way). It also introduces us to the two main characters: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Right away, you can tell this isn’t just another crime story. This is shaping up to be a full-on, modern-day Bonnie and Clyde tale with a Rockstar twist.

The graphics are crisp, the city feels alive, and the atmosphere screams trouble. In a good way.

Who is Jason Duval?

Jason is the kind of guy who wants to keep things simple, but life just won’t let him. He grew up around con artists and crooks and tried to run from it by joining the military. That didn’t really fix anything.

Now, he’s doing jobs for local drug dealers and just trying to survive. But meeting Lucia might be the moment that changes everything for him — for better or worse.

“Jason knows how he’d like it to turn out,” Rockstar says, “but right now, it’s hard to tell.” Sounds like we’re in for a rollercoaster.

What’s Lucia’s backstory?

Lucia? She’s no stranger to a fight. Her father taught her how to defend herself from the moment she could walk. Life hasn’t been easy on her either. She landed in Leonida Penitentiary after protecting her family, and somehow managed to get out through pure luck.

Now she’s out, but she’s not trying to play it safe. She wants to be smarter — not by going straight, but by doing crime better. Big-time, high-stakes crime.

Lucia has her eyes on something more than survival. She wants the kind of life her mom used to dream about back in Liberty City. And she’s ready to take it.

Are Jason and Lucia a couple?

It sure looks that way. Rockstar is clearly playing into the Bonnie and Clyde energy — two people running from their past, falling into love and chaos at the same time. They’ve got chemistry, but also conflict. It’s not clear whether they’ll end up riding into the sunset or going down in flames.

Whatever it is, fans are already hooked.

What else can we expect from the story?

With these two leading the way, GTA 6 is shaping up to be a gritty, emotional, high-stakes ride. You’ve got military baggage, prison escapes, family loyalty, and dreams of a better life — all wrapped up in one action-packed package.

The setting looks like it’s based on Florida (called “Leonida” in the game), and the world Rockstar’s building seems huge, wild, and full of chaos. Just the way fans like it.

Why did Rockstar delay the game?

We don’t have all the answers, but the delay to 2026 probably has to do with making sure the game is polished and truly next-gen. With the size and scope GTA 6 is aiming for, it makes sense that Rockstar would want more time to get it right.

That doesn’t make the wait any easier, but at least the new trailer shows they’re putting in the work.

What should fans do while waiting?

Honestly? Rewatch the trailer a few times. Dive into the character breakdowns. Start guessing how the story’s going to play out. GTA 6 might be two years away, but Rockstar just gave us more than enough to chew on for now.

If you’re the kind of player who loves deep storytelling, complicated characters, and open-world madness, this game is already shaping up to be something special.
