Leave it up to the internet to scrutinize every square inch of one of the most-watched video game trailer of all time.
The sudden and much-welcomed release of the official Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has ignited a flurry of speculation on the internet, with several online communities debating about the true identity of the bikini-clad woman that’s featured prominently in the footage.
A growing consensus suggests that this character could be one-half of the game’s pair of criminal protagonists, Lucia, but others aren’t quite so convinced.
Nevertheless, the speculation isn’t baseless.
Several key observations point out the physical resemblance between Lucia and the scantly-clad blonde girl. The two women’s facial features – particularly the eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, as well as the overall facial structure – are strikingly similar. Additionally, the physical build of both characters appear to match.
It’s these kinds of visual comparisons that have led to conclusions that the bikini girl is most likely Lucia, albeit in a different setting or context within GTA 6. Another element fueling this theory is the mole placement on both characters. While the mole placement may be too trivial a detail to confirm their identity, it may be a subtle yet deliberate hint from Rockstar Games.
Set in contemporary times, a potential explanation is the bikini scene is part of a larger narrative or mission within the game, perhaps like a heist. Lucia, operating as part of the Bonnie and Clyde-like duo, might use her appearance to distract and manipulate targets. This would explain the several other bikini-wearing females in the background.
Given GTA Online’s emphasis put on teamwork and cooperation in recent years, a mission like this in GTA 6 would fit perfectly with what Rockstar has built up to all these years.
However, this theory isn’t perfect. The resemblance between the bikini girl and Lucia could be a red herring. Rockstar might have included her to generate discussion. After all, her appearance seems to be a part of the trailer’s focus on depicting the vibrant NPC life in the game’s Miami-inspired fictional setting, Vice City. She might not be a central character, but an NPC. This would align with Rockstar’s penchant for featuring women as part of its promotional material, dating all the way back to Grand Theft Auto 3.
Regardless of what’s the truth, the debate will continue, proving that Rockstar has successfully captured the attention of the world – of course, the three Guinness World Records set by the official GTA 6 trailer is proof enough. The trailer has generated immense interest and engagement, with audiences spending hours eagerly analyzing every detail as they anticipate the game’s release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X in 2025.
Whether the bikini girl is Lucia or not, this speculation only proves the internet’s excitement and intrigue surrounding Grand Theft Auto VI and its return to the iconic Vice City. (Just don’t tell Elon Musk we said this).
As Rockstar Games continues to reveal more about GTA 6 leading up to its release, fans will undoubtedly continue to pour an inordinate amount of time dissecting every detail, piecing together the puzzle that is the next GTA game.
