Summary
Lucia and Jason fromGrand Theft Auto 6could end up having more in common with the leads ofRed Dead Redemption 2than first expected. Of course, it is still very early, and little information aboutGrand Theft Auto 6has been made public yet. Even taking that into account, there is reason to believe that there are twists that fans aren’t privy to yet. Some of the twists in question could pertain to the roles of the two lead characters. As such, Lucia and Jason could end up with a dynamic not unlike Rockstar’s most famous cowboys.
While thenextGrand Theft Auto 6trailerwill likely bring further information, at the moment players only have the first to draw information from. Admittedly, there is enough to paint a fairly decent picture of what to expect from the game. Lucia and Jason have a partnership and commit crimes together, and at the very least, Lucia has been to jail at some point. In addition, the sights of Vice City that players get to see implies that plenty ofGrand Theft Auto’s raucous absurdity will ensue.Grand Theft Auto 6showed off a little, but there is still plenty more to come, especially since one of the game’s two protagonists has hardly been shown.
Little Has Been Revealed About Jason From GTA 6
While Lucia has been established,GTA 6’s male protagonist is still a mystery. Fans have at least a decent idea of what Lucia is like from the trailer, but Jason has not had as much time in the spotlight. In fact, almost all of his screen time in the trailer is alongside Lucia. As a result, fans haven’t had much of a chance to learn much about him yet, aside from the fact that he’s Lucia’s partner at the time thatGrand Theft Auto 6takes place. As it stands, it feels like the two may not play as equal a role in-game as expected despite the cover art making them seem equally important.
Lucia and Jason Could Have Entirely Different Questlines to Handle
Lucia and Jason might not be able to tackle every mission together.Grand Theft Auto 6’s storycould see its two protagonists frequently having to tackle separate jobs from each other. This could be due to them getting involved with different deals or organizations, or perhaps something more impactful. Looking back toRed Dead Redemption 2, Arthur was the protagonist for most of the story, with John taking over in the epilogue. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Lucia has to meet the same fate as Arthur inGrand Theft Auto 6. However, the same principle could apply, with Lucia and Jason having missions specific to their own storylines and Lucia being the main character for a large portion of the story.
Rockstar Has Divided Missions Between Protagonists Before
A story structured in this way wouldn’t be groundbreaking forGrand Theft Auto. After all, theprotagonists ofGrand Theft Auto 5all had their own story missions, as well as side missions that couldn’t be taken on by any other character. If anything, it laid down a foundation forGrand Theft Auto 6to have a similar dynamic with its protagonists. Between that andRed Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar has a bit of a recent trend for splitting stories between protagonists. So far, it looks like that could be the direction thatGrand Theft Auto 6will take Lucia and Jason.
Grand Theft Auto 6’s story could see its two protagonists frequently having to tackle separate jobs from each other.
The dynamic between Lucia and Jason is something thatGrand Theft Auto 6still needs to establish. It could depend on how muchGTA 6borrows fromGTA 5orRed Dead Redemption 2, or it could be a new take on the multiple-protagonist dynamic. Either option would have a major impact on the game. Jason’s lack of prominence in the first trailer could be a coincidence, but it could also be a clue. Lucia and Jason may be taking some unexpected cues from Arthur and John inGrand Theft Auto 6, with Jason having less playable segments overall, just like John did inRed Dead 2.
