Grand Theft Auto 6 has been making waves with its second trailer, which has already reached more than 100 million views in 5 days. While the game’s delay to May 2026 disappointed many fans, the fresh information about both protagonists has reignited excitement, especially the new details about Lucia’s backstory. One key revelation that could change everything? Lucia’s strong connection to Liberty City. This makes people wonder, will GTA 6 feature Liberty City? Here is the speculation.
Liberty City is a Part of Lucia’s Past
The second trailer and Rockstar’s official website have finally given us a deeper look at Lucia, one of GTA 6’s main characters. We now know that she ended up in Leonida Penitentiary because she was “fighting for her family” – a motivation that runs deep in her character.
What’s really interesting is that Lucia grew up with her mother in Liberty City before somehow ending up in Vice City. Her father taught her how to fight from a young age, skills that clearly will come in handy during her adventures with Jason Duval, her partner in crime. This Liberty City connection isn’t just a random detail. In the world of GTA, where locations are carefully chosen, this could be a huge hint about the game’s scope.
If you have played GTA 4, you will remember Liberty City, which brought the franchise to new heights back in 2008. Having a main character with strong ties there opens up exciting possibilities. Since family is so important to Lucia, you might find yourself:
- Traveling to Liberty City for missions related to her family.
- Meeting characters from her past who impact the main story.
All the Liberty City Connections in GTA 6 So Far
Here are some Liberty City references throughout the second trailer and other sources:
| Clue | Description |
|---|---|
| Lucia’s Backstory | Lucia is from Liberty City and ended up in Leonida’s prison while trying to help her family. |
| License Plate Clue | A Liberty City plate is seen on a car in the second trailer. |
| Merchandise Reference | A character wears a “Liberty City Cycles” hat, suggesting a link to the city. |
| Mod Takedown | Rockstar removed a Liberty City mod, possibly to avoid overlap with future plans. |
| Cage Fighting Scene | Cage fighting is shown, a feature tied to Liberty City in GTA 4. |
| Airport Signs | Signs point to multiple airports, possibly including Liberty City’s. |
These connections suggest that the game’s map could include two major islands, with one being Liberty City. Including Liberty City wouldn’t be a first for Rockstar. They previously included Liberty City within GTA series, though in a limited capacity.
With today’s technology, they could create a full-scale version of both cities. Still, these are just fan theories and speculations based on what we’ve seen in the trailers. We’ll have to wait for more official details or future trailers to know for sure.

What We Know About GTA 6’s World So Far
Rockstar has confirmed several regions in and around Vice City, including:
- Vice City (the game’s primary location)
- Leonida Keys
- Grassrivers
- Port Gellhorn
- Ambrosia
- Mount Kalaga
But they’ve been careful to note that they “didn’t reveal every location in the game yet.” This deliberate message might be a hint that there’s actually more to explore than what’s been shown. With GTA 6’s release date set for May 26th, 2026, we’ll likely see more trailers and information drops in the coming months. Stay tuned!
