Summary
- The trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 suggests that the game will have a Bonnie and Clyde-like love story as its central narrative, which is a departure from previous GTA games.
- The setting of the game appears to be in a fictionalized version of Florida, with scenes depicting high-rise buildings, swamps, strip clubs, and social media culture.
- The trailer hints at the potential for political commentary, as the relationship between the protagonists may be explored as a response to abuse within the judicial system, similar to the real-life Bonnie and Clyde story.
I might be a hater, but only when it’s warranted – at my core I’m a lover, not a fighter. I’ve always loved love. I’m the kind of person who sobs at weddings, even i🔜f the people who are actually getting married are holding it together just fine. I got teary on the train a few weeks ago 💧because I saw a couple touch foreheads gently while sharing a pair of wired earphones. I smile when I see elderly couples holding hands. To me, the greatest joy of being alive is human connection, even if that love is platonic.
To that end, I’m also a sucker for love stories. This probably harkens back to my teenage fanfic obsession, which developed after my high school best friend forced me to read a Glee Faberry (that’s Quinn Fabray and Rachel Be🦩rry, for the uninitiated) fic so we could discuss it, in detail. It still haunts my memories. I jolt whenever I remember how many chapters there were. But now, I love the drama of a good will-they-won&r♑squo;t-they, an enemies-to-lovers arc, a slow burn, a ride-or-die situation. From the trailer Rockstar just released, it seems like Grand Theft Auto 6 is going to be the latter of those.

In the trailer, we get heavy Florida vibes at every turn. We see our protagonist, Lucia, in jail, telling a woman who seems to work at the prison that she’s there because of bad luck. There’s a montage of scenes depicting life in Rockstar’s fictionalised vision of Florida – high-rise buildings, swamps, alligators in pools, strip clubs, women twerking on moving cars, a woman in a muumuu threateningly holding two hammers. Then we see Lucia again, with a man who leaks suggest is named Jason, and she tells him, “The only way we’re gonna get through this is by sticking together.” The two of them stride throu🦩gh a store with guns in hand and bandanas tied over their faces♋ to hide their identities, there’s a shot of them in bed where Jason says he trusts Lucia, and the trailer closes on them entering a gas station, guns drawn.
Obviously, they&rsq✱uo;re like Bonnie and Clyde. The trailer doesn’t confirm if both protagonists will be playable like Michael, Trevor, and Franklin were in GTA 5, but I’m getting the feeling that Lucia is the focus, though Rockstar is likely holding cards to its chest. The story is cl꧒early about her, since it focuses on her incarceration, and she’s the one who seems to be pushing for them to be committing crimes. If that’s actually the case, this will be the first GTA game to feature a fully-written narrative from a female point of view, which rules.
And clearly, that iconic Grand Theft Auto satire will be in full force – we can already see it in how it depicts Floridian culture and proliferation of social media. But I’m more interested in the Bonnie and Clyde aspect. Not only will a love story likely be more emotionꦺally compelling, but the story of Bonnie and Clyde is in itself ripe for political comment൩ary. Some historians believe that Clyde started the Barrow Gang because of the abuses, sexual and physical, that he’d suffered under the Texan judicial system and the crimes he committed were a sort of misplaced attempt at getting revenge. Bonnie joined him out of love. It’ll be interesting to see how that classic tale is flipped in GTA 6 and if Rockstar handles it well or not. Either way, I’m no Grand Theft Auto die-hard, but this trailer has even me excited.
