There had been no reports from Rockstars after dropping the bombshell of the delay for the game’s release, which has been shifted to May 2026. After the drop of the first trailer, this is the latest piece of information that we have gotten out of Rockstar so far. This trailer has also heavily focused on setting up the characters and the world without adding too much of the gameplay itself. It has been almost 12 years since the last GTA game came out, which makes fans more eager for the new game.
About the newest trailer
GTA VI Trailer 2 opens up with the character Jason doing odd jobs while driving around Vice City, the location inspired by Miami from the 2002 game. Rockstar mentions how Jason was a troubled teen who had joined the army to escape his bad influences, but fell back into crime after returning home. He also collects Lucia from prison, who had been serving time to ‘protect her family’.
From then, the trailer shows a variety of montages of action sequences, romantic scenes, and also glimpses of the game world, with heists, parties, as well as a jetski ride performed by the duo. They have plunged into ‘the middle of a conspiracy’ after an ‘easy score goes wrong’ for them.
Brand new characters and locations
In addition to Jason and Lucia, players can also see various other characters that will supposedly play their important roles in the game. Bank robber Raul Bautista, the smuggler Brian Heder, and the rapper Real Dimez are some of the characters that have been revealed for the game. The game also seems to have created accurate recreations of locations across Florida, such as the neon-lit beachfront, the Grassrivers swampland, which has been inspired by the Florida Everglades.
Other locations were the Leonida Keys, the industrial Ambrosia region, the mountainous Kalaga National Park, and the Port Gellhon. There also seems to be different groups and factions that belong to these places, such as hillbilly mystics and biker gangs. There was no gameplay footage, but it had cinematic sequences, which are most likely present between story missions. The GTA VI trailer 2 also claims that the footage has been taken from a PlayStation 5 console.
Delay and Questions for the game
The hype that has been generated for the game has been huge, and Rockstar has developed a reputation for perfecting their game formula despite their delays. According to journalists, the delay was specifically to avoid overtime working and ‘crunch’. The delay has also significantly impacted the parent company’s stake, as the shares of Take-Two dropped by 10%.

The game will also only be available for the consoles initially, that is, the Xbox and PlayStation 5, to boost the console sales as well. Besides, a lot of gameplay questions remained unanswered, like the switching of characters like GTA 5 and other interactions.
Conclusons
The recent GTA VI trailer 2 for the upcoming GTA installment has ignited the fans with excitement and also left fans awaiting its world-building, character introductions as well as the cinematic flair. The decision to delay the game to May 2026 has disappointed the fans, however, Rockstar has committed to avoiding developer crunch and delivering a polished experience to the fans. With its diverse and expansive new world, this GTA will be one of the most ambitious titles in the series yet. As anticipation builds, players worldwide are eagerly waiting for more updates and questions about the gameplay.
