Story and Characters
GTA 6 follows Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, a couple pulled into Leonida's criminal underworld after a job goes wrong. Rockstar's trailers frame their relationship as the heart of the story, and the Extended Look confirmed you can switch between them and team up in missions.
Rockstar has also introduced supporting characters on its official site, including Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest, Real Dimez, Raul Bautista and Brian Heder.
The Map: Leonida and Its Six Regions
Rockstar has named six regions: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga. Official dimensions haven't been released, but previews describe a map much larger than GTA V's.
