Grand Theft Auto 6 and the wait for Leonida

The net is abuzz and in the gaming world nothing is trending more at the moment than the trailer of the GTA 6 game. Released by Rockstar on the 5th of December, it was a day most looked forward to by the ardent gamers worldwide.

Not surprisingly 24 hours since release the view count of the trailer is at 106M views on YouTube and not even the trailers of the big movie hits this year have surpassed that number yet. The trailer of the Barbie movie trending a few months ago has a total of 79M views to date and the other half of Barbenheimer, the Oppenheimer trailer has a total of 65M views. To my amazement I came across a post which mentioned that the Gaming Industry is much larger than the Hollywood and Music Industries combined, which is a fact that I hadn’t expected.

If you’re intrigued, you can catch the trailer of GTA 6 on Rockstars website, and with it the following brief description on the game itself.

“Grand Theft Auto VI heads to the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet. Coming 2025 to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.”

With the release of the trailer GTA will return to Vice City, apparently 20 years from the release of the 2002 game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. This was way back in the days of Playstation 2.

At the beginning of the trailer we get a glimpse of the character Lucia. The main protagonist we might assume in GTA 6, going by what we got from the trailer. The feedback already from the fans and gamers alike is that the character has already hit it out of the park, and everyone can’t wait until they play the character in the game.

Also hitting the rounds on the net is that the trailer depicts the not too all obvious real life incidents that occurred in the State of Florida and the real life locations depicted. The picture above with the Neon lights and Nightlife is a familiar resemblance to the famous Ocean Drive Street in Miami. There are many more similarities and references to actual locations scattered throughout the trailer — Biscayne Island, 500 Brickell, Miami Coastline, Florida Everglades, Atlantis Condominium, Miami’s Wynwood Neighborhood — to name but a few.

The game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City released in 2002 follows mobster Tommy Vercetti’s rise to power taking influence which i didn't note at the time from the movie Scarface. Al Pacino’s character Tony Montana from the movie has cult status, and the movie itself in considered as a cult classic as one of the best gangster movies of all time. The game’s plot was based on multiple real world events that occurred in the 1980s at the time in Miami. This bring us back to the most recent trailer and real world events that occurred in Florida i.e. The Florida Joker, Alligator in the swimming pool and at a grocery store, Florida Mud Club, Florida naked man gardening, that we can draw parallels to the last time we were in Vice City and the connection to Miami’s eccentric landscape.

Back to Lucia the protagonist of our trailer — the first in the series since a long time — we see her as a prison inmate to begin with and knocking on a convenience store with her partner and evading custody. More akin to a Bonnie and Clyde version from Miami. Is this the story-line? … we can only have our very own assumptions at the moment taking the source material given to us via this awesome trailer.

More on the trailer, and coming from another source the trailer is told to depict in game sequences put together. If that is so we can only have our dreams and hopes for the game run more wild, and it seems that the 2025 release date is too far a date at the moment. By the looks of it, it is going to be epic and I am sure 2025 is already marked down by many gamers and fans alike.
