The new GTA 6 trailer is here following Rockstar Games’ recent delay announcement. Now set to launch May 26, 2026, the game introduces players to a massive new setting — the state of Leonida — and a cast of characters tied up in crime, music, and survival.
Watch the trailer below.
Two Leads, One Dangerous Path
Rockstar Games has also updated its website with info on the cast and locations.
Jason Duval is an ex-Army grunt stuck in the drug trade, trying to pull off one last score. But things go sideways, forcing him deeper into the criminal underworld of Leonida.
Lucia Caminos, fresh out of prison, is looking for a better life — not just for herself but for her family. Teaming up with Jason might be the way out, but the stakes are high and trust is thin.
Additional characters include Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre’Quan Priest, Real Dimez, Raul Bautista, and Brian Heder.
Leonida: The New Playground
Leonida is Rockstar’s fictional stand-in for Florida, complete with cities, swamps, coastlines, and trouble at every turn.
Vice City
The neon-soaked urban core returns. It’s home to Boobie Ike, a former street hustler turned strip club mogul and music producer. He runs a studio funded by the club — and the streets. He’s banking on Dre’Quan Priest and his new act, Real Dimez, to blow up.
Leonida Keys
Jason spends time here under the thumb of Brian Heder, an old-school drug runner who lets Jason crash at one of his rentals in exchange for muscle. It’s a laid-back front for serious smuggling.
Grassrivers
This rural zone is where Real Dimez got their start. Now signed to Dre’Quan’s label, the duo is grinding for another viral hit while dodging their past.
Port Gellhorn
This gritty industrial port is the turf of Raul Bautista, a veteran bank robber looking to put together a new crew. He plays it cool, but every job is riskier than the last.
Ambrosia & Mount Kalaga
More areas like Ambrosia, a beach town with shady locals, and Mount Kalaga, a mountainous wilderness, round out the map. Expect chases, hideouts, and plenty of off-the-grid action.
What the GTA 6 Trailer Shows
The GTA 6 trailer shows off Leonida’s size, atmosphere, and characters. There’s crime, neon, and viral fame — with everyone chasing something, and most of them falling for it.
The trailer description states: “Jason and 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 criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive.”
Release info
Announced on Friday, “Grand Theft Auto VI is now set to release on May 26, 2026,” said Rockstar Games. “We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. The interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to finish the game.”
The announcement on the website and social media continued, “With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception.
