Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 on May 6, 2025, seventeen months after the first one. The same day it opened the game's official site, which gave the cast names, backgrounds and faces for the first time.
What Trailer 2 set up
Trailer 1 had been Lucia's video. Trailer 2 made it a two-hander.
Rockstar announced it on the Newswire as "Grand Theft Auto VI — Watch Trailer 2 Now".
The two leads
Jason Duval was the new face. Lucia Caminos had already led Trailer 1, and the site filled in where both of them come from.
Jason DuvalLucia CaminosThe supporting cast
The site also introduced six supporting characters. Their descriptions below come from the same relayed text, so treat the details as reported. Rockstar has not said how big a part any of them plays in the story.
| Character | Who they are |
|---|---|
| Cal Hampton | Jason's friend, a paranoid conspiracy theorist who spies on the Coast Guard |
| Boobie Ike | Former street figure turned businessman, with a strip club, a recording studio and property |
| Dre'Quan | Music figure who signed the Real Dimez and works with Boobie Ike |
| Real Dimez | A duo signed by Dre'Quan |
| Raul Bautista | An experienced bank robber who is always looking for new talent |
| Brian | An associate of Cal, reported to be housing Jason at one of his properties |
Two surnames in circulation, Priest for Dre'Quan and Heder for Brian, are not ones we could verify, so we leave them off.
All GTA VI charactersWhere it is set
The trailer and the site cover Vice City and the wider state of Leonida, including the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers and Port Gellhorn.
