While this is the case, there are most certainly a variety of subtle details and inclinations as to what the narrative is centered around. With the two main characters, Jason and Lucia, making their first appearances, it appears that the story is primarily focused on their dynamic.

5 Criminal Relationship / Love Story

Comparable To Bonnie & Clyde

From the moment that both Lucia and Jason are present on screen, fans will have instantly deduced that the two characters are romantically linked. Based on the brief lines of dialogue and the scene that showcases the two in bed together, it suggests that throughout the experience, fans will witness the two in a Bonnie and Clyde-like circumstance.

While there is still plenty left to be revealed, not only for the overarching narrative but the two characters, the trailer leaves fans with the impression that a pivotal factor of GTA 6's story will revolve around love. This would likely take a much more serious tone than usual, while the title maintains the satirical nature that fans have become accustomed to over the years.

Trailer Suggests An Up-And-Coming Criminal Duo Narrative

Just as Franklin rose in Grand Theft Auto 5, this title could very well focus on the come-up between two lovers on an interesting journey to the tallest heights of crime. Rockstar writers were able to balance out the focus of three different characters in GTA 5, without it becoming overcrowded or leading to one character getting the short end of the stick.

Based on this first trailer, fans can likely expect to see a similar journey to Franklin's from committing small-time robberies or street wars to taking part in heists in a much more professional manner. It appears as though the sequences revealed here could be early on in the story, building fans up for a wild ride later down the line.

3 Vice City Uproar / Riots

Riots Could Impact Gameplay Elements

While the news segments in the trailer could simply just be a showcase of the usual Grand Theft Auto chaos, there is a possibility that there is more to this. At various moments, the trailer suggests that there is a constant uproar from criminals and gang members in Vice City, as the news headlines showcase. Considering the aforementioned Bonnie and Clyde inspiration also previously revealed when the game was leaked, it would seem that a time of turmoil and uproar would be perfect for Lucia and Jason to commit robberies and any other crime for money.

This could mean so much for the game in the aspect of gameplay, ensuring that crime and NPC activities are prevalent on the map for immersion. But this could mean even more for the narrative, as it gives fans a further clue as to how these characters have come to know one another and how their crimes will be possible.

2 Police Manhunt

GTA 6's Cover Art Has A Few Hints & Secrets

With the start of the trailer and the game's official poster revealing that Lucia is in jail and under house arrest at some point, it is clear that this could imply a great deal within the narrative. Since there is no clarity on when the moments in the trailer are taking place, there is no guarantee that this is the case, but if they do line up in the way that many think, it could mean that the pair, or Lucia alone, is wanted.

In GTA 5, there are certain moments at which the main characters must lie low after pulling heists or jobs to avoid being caught. With Lucia's house arrest tag spotted in the cover art, the same element within both the story and gameplay could be active here, making it an interesting narrative journey, to say the least.

1 Betrayal / Trust

The Previous Installment Included Character Betrayals With Endings

Tagging along with the idea that GTA 6 may feature narrative choices and decisions, the penultimate scene in the trailer opens up a new line of mystery. As the two characters cuddle up romantically, Lucia asks about trust, to which Jason takes his time in responding. This could be a hint at potential rifts or an on-and-off relationship between the two, especially if they are not in a committed relationship.

As said previously, there is still so much for fans to see regarding GTA 6's story, but this first trailer has given everyone a quick glimpse at what fans could expect to unfold in one of the most anticipated games of all time. Though there is still much left to be unveiled, GTA 6's debut trailer has provided a great look at what's to come in the next series entry.
