Rockstar has a new preview out for GTA 6 in Dazed magazine, but not everyone may be picking up on the biggest revelations in it.
You may have already read that you can play as either Jason or Lucia, or switch between them as they stay in missions together. You may have also read that the simulation systems go as far as allowing both to gain weight or muscle, or get tired based on your activities.
Rockstar also revealed they have spent a decade visiting and researching Miami and its surroundings to build their fictional Florida, Leonida.
In character senior art director Jamie-Lee Lloyd’s words:
That firsthand context helped us understand the visual markers and nuances that define the identities we wanted to represent, while filtering them through the unique lens of GTA and the stories we wanted to tell.
So for example, Rockstar noticed the real life shift to women dominating the music scene, hence they conceptualized Real Dimez. While Rockstar is known for parodying America, this time they put in the journalistic work to build a more realistic depiction than ever before, once again mirroring Red Dead Redemption 2.
