GTA 6’s Cast and Locations Are Wild: From Vice City Icons to Rap Rivals and Redneck Retreats

When Rockstar drops a trailer, the internet doesn’t just watch it—they dissect it. And GTA 6’s latest sneak peek delivered more than flashy shots and thirst traps. It gave us a proper introduction to its chaotic cast of characters, and even better, it mapped out a world that makes Los Santos look like a weekend getaway spot. Let’s unpack the troublemakers, tycoons, TikTokers, and terrain of GTA 6, starting with the new power couple that’s already won over fans.

Jason and Lucia: The Bonnie & Clyde of Leonida

Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos are here to steal hearts and armored trucks. Jason’s a rough-around-the-edges ex-soldier-turned-drug-runner. Lucia’s fresh out of the slammer, still rocking a grudge and fists like hammers. Their chemistry? Electric. Their backstory? Full of regret, danger, and whispered dreams of breaking free. It’s giving love story, but with felonies. Lucia’s from Liberty City, which could tease a potential crossover (or just be Rockstar lore-building), and Jason’s currently living rent-free in someone else’s shady side hustle. Ah, romance.

Boobie Ike, Dre’Quan, and Real Dimez: The Vice City Rap Game

Let’s get into the music moguls and messy fame-hunters that make up GTA 6’s loudest subplot: the Vice City rap industry. Boobie Ike is basically a SoundCloud king turned real estate baron. He owns a studio, a strip club, and probably your cousin’s mixtape rights. His business model? “The club money pays for the studio, and the drug money pays for it all.”

His business partner is Dre’Quan Priest, a slick-talking hustler with big music dreams and questionable morals. Together, they run Only Raw Records—an obvious shot at the influencer-fueled chaos of today’s hip-hop world. Their star duo? Bae-Luxe and Roxy, aka Real Dimez—two savage female rappers who’ve turned “shaking down dealers” into platinum singles and viral TikToks. Their lines hit, their drip’s dangerous, and their side hustles might involve more than just bars. This arc feels like Rockstar’s love letter and roast to modern fame. Think Empire meets Love & Hip-Hop, but with assault rifles.

Cal, Brian & the Keys Crew: Florida, But Make It GTA

Jason’s freeloading days are courtesy of Brian Heder, a grizzled smuggler from the “golden age of crime in the Keys” who lets Jason crash in exchange for… favors. You know where this is going. Brian’s third wife, Lori, is around somewhere (we fear for her safety), and Jason’s goofy pool-floatie friend Cal Hampton serves as the local comic relief. Think Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force but less angry and more pink flamingo inflatable. Their world feels like peak Rockstar satire—a sweaty underbelly of illegal docks, neon beer signs, and morally questionable favors.

Raul Bautista: Smooth Criminal in a Yacht Seat

If GTA had an Ocean’s 11 character, it’d be Raul Bautista. Described as a “seasoned bank robber always on the hunt for talent,” it’s safe to say he’ll eventually recruit Jason and Lucia for more serious gigs. He’s stylish, suave, and the kind of guy you trust instantly—and then wake up cuffed to a sinking speedboat. In a game full of hotheads and wannabes, Raul’s the cool uncle with mob connections and two fake passports.

Welcome to Leonida: Vice City, But Way More Than Just Beaches

Vice City returns as the beating, sunburnt heart of GTA 6—but this time, it’s just one part of a much larger state called Leonida (basically a chaotic, crime-ridden Florida rebrand).

You’ve got:

• Ocean Beach – pure Miami vibes, white sand, wild nightlife.
• Little Cuba – panaderías, cigar smoke, and pastel-painted storefronts.
• VC Port – gritty industrial docks with secrets.
• Tisha-Wocka flea market – bootleg brands, sketchy vendors, and probably three different NPC scams waiting to happen.

But it doesn’t stop there…

Farther out, the Leonida Keys offer swampy serenity and shady deals. It’s where Jason starts out, with locals fishing, lounging, or cooking meth. You know—small-town vibes. Then there’s the Grassrivers, described as “untamable jewels.” Think airboats, gators, illegal fireworks, and enough Everglades energy to keep Swamp People on air forever.

Port Gellhorn and Ambrosia: American Decay and Industry Dreams

Port Gellhorn is where cheap motels go to die. It’s all shuttered roller coasters, off-brand theme parks, and failed tourist traps. Basically, if Vice City is your Instagram, Gellhorn is your burnout. Meanwhile, Ambrosia represents “old-school American industry.” Steel mills, biker gangs, sugar factories—and probably that one uncle who still uses AOL. This is where GTA 6 might dig into themes like economic disparity, blue-collar desperation, and crime hidden under the facade of “family values.”

Mount Kalaga National Park: Off-Roading, Mystics, and Mayhem

Up north lies Mount Kalaga, GTA 6’s version of a rural national park. Expect hunting trails, backwoods cults, and conspiracy theorists grilling raccoons. We’re calling it now—someone will make moonshine and offer you a side quest involving ghosts. It’s the perfect spot for Rockstar to inject some classic weirdness. After all, what’s GTA without a backwoods shack full of alien graffiti?

So How Big Is This Map?

If we’re going by scale alone, Leonida already feels massive. The presence of suburbs, swamps, cityscapes, farmland, and state parks hints at a map that could rival—not just match—Red Dead Redemption 2. And let’s be real: Rockstar hasn’t even revealed everything yet. There’s still that Liberty City tease, and who knows what lies beneath Vice City’s seedy surface (spoiler: probably gators and gun runners).
