Rockstar’s first official GTA 6 trailer (Dec 2023) immediately establishes a lush Vice City–Florida setting, two lead characters, and a sun-soaked yet dangerous tone. Its 90-second montage is packed with visual Easter eggs and clues about story and gameplay. In the sections below we break down every detail – from the neon Miami-inspired architecture to the protagonists and their “Bonnie & Clyde” dynamic – drawing on official sources and leading gaming press for confirmation and analysis.

Setting: Vice City and Florida Vibes

Neon Miami aesthetic

Bright billboards and pastel-colored buildings suggest Art Deco and ’80s Miami style. For example, PC Gamer highlights a South Beach–like shot with crowded boulevards – so dense with cars, people and even an iguana-toting panhandler that “every shot…is packed with vehicles, people, animals and items”

Expanded map:

The trailer hints Vice City is only part of the world. Street signs name places like “Kelly County,” “the Keys,” “Port Gellhorn,” and an Everglades-like swamp. This implies a massive map beyond Vice City’s urban core, potentially including Keys-style islands and rural Florida countryside.

Authentic Florida details:

Nearly every surface is painstakingly detailed (PC Gamer notes “correctly styled street lights and freeway signs for South Florida”). Background NPCs sunbathe with realistic water physics, birds perch on power lines, and even a blimp can be seen in the sky– all reinforcing the warm, vibrant Florida atmosphere.

Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval:

The trailer’s central figures are hinted to be a young couple on the run. Rockstar’s website and press explain that Lucia (a tough ex-con) and Jason (an ex-soldier/drug runner) are the two protagonists rockstargames.com. Lucia is the first-ever female lead in GTA and is seen busting out of prison, while Jason is glimpsed behind the wheel of a muscle car. Official text teases that “when an easy score goes wrong, [they] find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America” rockstargames.com – suggesting a Bonnie & Clyde–style partnership. As Red Bull notes, a gangster couple in love (citing classic crime films) is clearly a theme Kotaku confirms the trailer focuses on “GTA VI’s Florida-inspired setting” and the leading couple, Lucia and Jason.

The trailer’s visuals and sparse dialogue imply a story of crime and consequence in paradise. Rockstar’s own blurb sets the scene: when a simple heist fails, Lucia and Jason “find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy”
