Hopeful fans ofGrand Theft Auto 6recently received a huge blow with the news that the high-profile project has been delayed from its original late-2025 release window, with the game now possessing the revised release date of June 22, 2025. It seemed that Rockstar would have to do something big to win over the favor of fans due to this understandable yet disappointing news, and this has more than been achieved by the recent release ofGTA 6’s second trailer.
The second trailer launch forGrand Theft Auto 6came as a shock to the gaming industry, with the video giving some critical early insight into the project’s other major protagonist, Jason Duval, as well as glimpses at the game’s zany cast of supporting characters. Fans have a much better understanding of the types of content involved inGTA 6thanks to the trailer, with more information even being revealed about Lucia. Crucially, it has now been confirmed that Lucia shares some serious ties to the iconic franchise location of Liberty City, with Rockstar surely working the location intoGTA 6in some way because of this.
Liberty City Could Have a Big Role to Play in Grand Theft Auto 6 Thanks to Lucia
As a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired duo, the dynamic between Jason and Lucia already seems fascinating, with a lot of pressure being placed onGTA 6’s two protagonists to carry the torch of the famous characters that came before them.
Alongside the trailer came a huge wealth of information on the officialGTA 6website, including a treasure trove of brand-new screenshots and character deep dives for fans to peruse. Much can be learned of Lucia’s backstory thanks to this fresh character description, describing how she landed herself in Leonida Penitentiary by “fighting for her family.” Lucia’s family ties are further fleshed out with the descriptions of her father teaching her how to fight from a young age, with it also being confirmed thatLucia grew up with her mother in Liberty City.
Of course,Liberty City was the gritty major location of 2008’sGrand Theft Auto 4, with the title being just as iconic as the likes of Los Santos and Vice City in the tapestry of the franchise’s past. Some high expectations exist around the scale ofGrand Theft Auto 6, with many rumors suggesting that the game’s playable area will be much larger than Vice City and its surrounding locations, and Liberty City might play a big role in this through Lucia.
TheGTA 6website also confirmed the major regions of Vice City and its surroundings, including the likes of Vice City itself, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga.
The Value That a Liberty City Appearance Would Have in GTA 6 Speaks For Itself
With how important family appears to be to Lucia, it seems a real possibility that players may briefly visit parts of Liberty City throughoutthe story ofGrand Theft Auto 6. This would be an excellent opportunity for Rockstar to show just how far the franchise has come since 2008 while giving a tasteful nod to such a fan-favorite entry to the series. Even if Liberty City only appears through things like flashback sequences, it only seems right thatGTA 6makes the most of Lucia’s backstory in this way.
The massive expectations that exist aroundGrand Theft Auto 6can only be met by some ambitious moves on Rockstar’s part, and an increased variety of locations seems like a sure-fire way for the upcoming game to exceed the gameplay opportunities ofGTA 5. With both Vice City and Liberty City being two hugely important in-game locations that are fairly close geographically, Lucia could be the key to the latter making a needed and memorable appearance inGrand Theft Auto 6’s story.
