Highlights

  • Grand Theft Auto 6's first trailer focuses on trust, hinting at a potentially dramatic story direction.
  • The trailer's emphasis on the partnership between Lucia and her associate suggests that trust will be a core focus of the game's main story.
  • Trust as a mechanic could impact the ending of Lucia's story, potentially leading to different outcomes based on player choices.

Trust seems to be a major point in Grand Theft Auto 6's first trailer, and that could point towards a potentially dramatic direction for the story. Of course, a single trailer is likely not enough evidence to call anything definitive as of yet. However, with such a long wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 to officially be revealed, it's natural to expect Rockstar to put their best foot forward. For that reason, the first trailer is important for letting players know what to expect from the game.

After it was revealed, Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer broke records regarding how quickly it went viral. Even though official news about the game had been anticipated for years, the magnitude of the reaction was still unprecedented. The trailer itself did a good job of setting up what players should expect from the game, with new protagonist Lucia getting plenty of focus. Likewise, the series' return to Vice City looks to make the classic location wilder than ever thanks to the developers playing into the reputation of Florida. So far, Grand Theft Auto 6 is building up to be a worthy next chapter.

Grand Theft Auto 6 already looks like it's shaping up to be an incredible game, but it might end up disappointing Red Dead 2 fans in one big way.

Grand Theft Auto 6 Could Be About the Trust Between Lucia and Her Partner

The Leads' Relationship Was Spotlighted in GTA 6's Trailer

Rockstar has already planted a set of potential hints about Grand Theft Auto 6's story in the trailer. As expected, the game seems set to focus on the partnership between Lucia and her currently unnamed associate. The rumors of the two having a Bonnie and Clyde-themed relationship look to be true, as they are shown committing several crimes together, and they also appear to be in a romantic relationship. There are a lot of directions that this storyline could go and unless there is a big twist, the relationship between GTA 6's leads will likely be a core focus of the main story.

Trust Will Likely Be Key to GTA 6's Story

There is one part of the trailer that could prove important for the dynamic between GTA 6's dual protagonists. Near the end of the trailer, Lucia and her partner both affirm that they trust each other. The music in the background is quieter in this part, letting the player hear the dialogue more clearly, making this seem like an important moment. This could point towards trust being a mechanic in Grand Theft Auto 6.

For example, the actions that players take could affect how much the leads trust each other and this could potentially have a major impact on the story as a whole.

GTA 6 Could Have Multiple Endings Like GTA 5

Trust as a mechanic has the potential to have a major impact on the ending of Lucia's story in Grand Theft Auto 6. Much like Grand Theft Auto 5, the game could feature radically different endings depending on player choice. Keeping trust between the two strong could lead to the best ending while breaking that trust in various ways could see the story end differently. Lucia and her partner could end up separating, or one could even betray the other depending on how fraught their relationship is by the end. Trust could be the most crucial factor in Grand Theft Auto 6's ending (or endings).

Future Grand Theft Auto 6 trailers will provide more information, but the emphasis on the trust scene is worth looking into. Grand Theft Auto 6's release date is still at least a year away, so there will be plenty of time for fans to speculate. However, if Grand Theft Auto 6 brings back multiple protagonists, then it shouldn't be out of the question for the game to have multiple endings as well.
