Characters and Setting

Jason and Lucia

The two leads are Jason and Lucia, presented as a couple whose plan goes wrong and who end up relying on each other to survive a conspiracy across the state.

That framing is doing real work: it is the first mainline GTA built around a duo rather than a single protagonist, and the marketing keeps returning to the pair rather than to a city or a car.

Cast and setting at a glance

The table keeps the confirmed part small on purpose — that is the actual state of the public information.

Leonida and Vice City

Leonida is the state, and Vice City is its best-known location. Rockstar's copy leans on the contrast between the state's sunshine and its criminal underside — the same contrast the original Vice City was built on, scaled up.

The pre-order pack is explicitly nostalgic about the city's neon era, which tells you how much of the marketing is aimed at people who played the 2002 game.

What the page leaves open

Supporting characters, mission structure, and how the two leads' stories interleave are not described. Anyone publishing a cast list is working from a trailer frame or a leak.

When Rockstar adds character pages or a story section, this page will be rewritten around them — until then, the honest version is short.

Why a duo changes the formula

Every mainline GTA before this one was built around a single playable lead, with the city as the second character. A duo changes what the story can do: dialogue becomes a scene rather than a monologue, and a heist-style mission can split attention between two people who disagree.

It also changes what the marketing has to prove — that both leads are worth following — which is why the page keeps returning to the pair rather than to a landmark.
