Vice City and Leonida
The game takes place in Vice City, in the fictional state of Leonida — Rockstar's take on Florida. The official site's story synopsis reads: "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida." Additional district names (Leonida Keys, Port Gellhorn, etc.) circulate in the press but weren't directly confirmed in the official source — treat as strong rumor.
Confirmed protagonists
Jason Duval
Officially confirmed protagonist
Jason is one of GTA 6's two playable protagonists. According to Rockstar's official announcement for Trailer 1 (December 2023), widely reported by gaming press, he grew up around grifters and crooks and joined the Army to leave his troubled teenage years behind. Back in civilian life, he now works for local drug runners in Leonida, looking for an easier life — but keeps running into harder times along the way.
Not officially confirmed: detailed military background (unit, exact reason for leaving) and the full identity of his boss in the drug trade — this is fan extrapolation from the trailers.
Lucia Caminos
Officially confirmed protagonist
Lucia is the other playable protagonist — and Rockstar officially confirmed she's the first woman written as a fully-voiced playable lead in a mainline GTA title. According to the Trailer 1 announcement, reported by multiple outlets, she grew up with her mother (originally from Liberty City) while her father taught her to fight from a young age. A fight to protect her family landed her in a Leonida prison, which she got out of, per the text, "by sheer luck". She wants the good life her mother always dreamed of.
Not officially confirmed: exact details of her time in prison and specific ties to organized crime in Leonida — remains community interpretation.
