GTA 6: 10 CONFIRMED Gameplay Details

10. Jason And Lucia

Ever since Grand Theft Auto V broke the series’ mould by featuring three equal-part protagonists, fanbase chatter has wondered what that meant for the future of the series. Would this become the status quo moving forward? Not only do the recent video leaks confirm a pair of playable characters, their presence calls back to a more recent report from Bloomberg about the game’s story being framed as a “Bonnie and Clyde” tale of two criminals with an intimate relationship.

Now, we have our first look at the pair and their names: Jason and Lucia.

More than just chatter about the number of characters, the idea of a female lead for the series has been a longstanding discussion in the GTA community that only got more fervent in recent years. Lucia is the first female protagonist for the series since the original game, but back then it hardly mattered since everything was top-down and there was a far lesser emphasis on character.

Like GTA V, it appears that swapping between Lucia and Jason can be done at any time with the push of the down button on the d-pad. During certain instances, there’s also footage of the game informing that R1 will allow the player to check with the other character nearby to make sure that your criminal activities are going off without a hitch.
