Rockstar Games
Rockstar Games released the second official trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV this week, with the latest teaser focusing on the game’s two main protagonists: the seemingly Bonnie-and-Clyde-esque duo of Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.
The trailer — released shortly after Rockstar Games announced that the game’s release had been delayed from late 2025 to May 26, 2026 — features multiple glamorous shots of both Jason and Lucia, who were each given movie-star looks, which isn’t exactly traditional for the Grand Theft Auto IV franchise.
While Gen Z might not remember this, Boomers, Gen X and Millennials certainly will, and that’s the moral panic that surrounded the franchise in the late 90s and early 2000s, as bored stay-at-home moms began blaming the game for corrupting the minds of their children, or whatever (imagine a world where *those* were the things we still argued about — god we had it good).
The reason I mention this is because Grand Theft Auto is a franchise that’s always known what their audience wants, and have given it to them. That’s clearly true with its protagonists in Grand Theft Auto IV , whose leads’ looks have clearly caught the attention of fans, particularly Lucia (again — know your audience).

“Set in Vice City, Jason & Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive”
Grand Theft Auto VI will be set in the fictional Vice City (basdicallyMiami), which was previously featured in Grand Theft Auto (1997) and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002).
