Ten years later, this prediction still makes fans tremble. In 2016, a mysterious developer claimed that GTA 6 would feature two protagonists, a man and a woman, as well as a storyline centered on drug trafficking between Florida and a third country. At the time, this statement sounded like fantasy.
But today, everything fits. The game features Jason and Luciatwo characters with very similar profiles, and indeed takes place in a revisited version of Miamibaptized Vice City. The account
Vice City…and a one-way ticket to Cuba?
This same leak mentioned a secondary location outside the United States: Cuba. Information taken lightly at the time, but which takes on a completely different meaning today. Because not only is Vice City confirmed, but the profiles of Jason and Lucia match almost perfectly with the roles described in 2016: “The roles of Jason and Lucia may have evolved slightly during development, but they still fit quite well, and GTA VI does indeed take place in Vice City, a version of Miami, Florida.”
And Cuba? The media GameRant relays this rumor by placing it in continuity with the exact revelations of the original leak. The idea of a second place on the mapin addition to Vice City, therefore becomes credible.
A secondary zone like Guarma in Red Dead Redemption 2?
Several players wonder if Cuba could play the same role as Guarma in Red Dead Redemption 2 : a closed area, accessible only during certain missions, with no possibility of free return afterwards. This choice would allow Rockstar to enrich the narrative without complicating the main open world.
The theory is attractive. It would allow you to explore a radically different location, with very scripted missions, while keeping Vice City at the heart of the game.
Rockstar activates its teams, the release is getting closer
Another element that fuels this hypothesis: Rockstar recently published a job offer for a deputy director of creator strategyin New York. A function generally activated at the very end of development, when the launch approaches.
According to the account videotechukthis type of recruitment indicates that the communication campaign for GTA VI is imminent. The game’s release is currently scheduled for November 19, 2026unless postponement announced at the next conference of Take Twowhich will be held in the next 24 hours.
