GTA 6 Fan Theories Explode After Trailer 2
The second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 has ignited a firestorm of fan theories, with players dissecting every frame for clues about the highly anticipated game. The trailer, released in May 2025, offers a glimpse into the story and potential gameplay, sparking intense speculation across various online platforms.
Connections to Red Dead Redemption 2?
One intriguing theory suggests a link between the GTA and Red Dead Redemption universes. Fans have pointed out that the presidents depicted on in-game cash match those found on cigarette cards in Red Dead Redemption 2. While this could simply be a coincidental detail, it's fueled speculation about a shared universe, and even that one character may be a descendant of another.
Gameplay Insights and Dual Protagonists
A brief scene in the trailer showing a character walking into their house, seemingly from a third-person perspective, has led to theories about how gameplay might begin. Many believe this indicates the game will transition seamlessly from cutscene to gameplay, perhaps featuring such transitions for both main characters, Jason and Lucia.
Character Selection and Story Speculation
An image on the updated official website, showing Jason and Lucia in an embrace, has sparked discussion about a possible character selection screen. The possibility of switching between protagonists during gameplay, or even at the start of a session, is generating much excitement. Furthermore, countless theories exist on Jason and Lucia’s relationship, with some predicting betrayals or even the demise of one or both characters.
A Secret Third Protagonist?
A theory involving an undercover cop, fueled by dialogue and actions in the trailer, suggests the possibility of a third, secret playable character. This character could be an older cop hunting Jason and Lucia, adding another layer to the game's narrative.
The Phil Cassidy Enigma
A particularly fun theory involves Phil Cassidy, the arms dealer from previous GTA games. A character resembling Cassidy, but with both arms (unlike the one-armed Cassidy from previous games), is seen on Jason's TV in the trailer. This raises questions about the continuity between the different GTA universes. Is this a different Cassidy, perhaps a son or grandson? Or is it just a fun Easter egg from the developers?
The trailer also strengthens existing theories about heists and influences from the Fast & Furious films. With its release date still a year away, GTA 6 promises to deliver a thrilling and complex experience, making this intense fan speculation all the more engaging. More theories are emerging daily, creating a captivating build-up to the game's release.
