Lucia was designed to rival Arthur Morgan & Niko Bellic
One of the biggest priorities of Rockstar’s devs was to create a protagonist that could match the similar impact of previous characters like Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2 and Niko Bellic from GTA 4.
Lucia was written as a determined woman with an immigrant background. She is focused on building a better life despite the constant struggles and obstacles.
The developers have imagined her as someone raised around Newark, New Jersey, near Liberty City.
Jason & Lucia’s crime story
Jason, her partner in crime, is also designed to complement her in the GTA 6 story. This duo relationship will feature a constant push-and-pull dynamic as they navigate the dangerous life in Leonida.
His military background is not intended to serve as a political message. The circumstances will push him towards criminal activities, drug trafficking, bank robbery and more.
Rockstar conducted extensive Florida research
Rockstar Games wanted to create an authentic version of Vice City and the wider Leonida region in GTA 6. For this, they have spent years on research.
The developers travelled across Miami, surrounding towns, the Florida Keys, and rarely visited areas by tourists.
The team also spoke with local police, locals and people involved in criminal activities and gangs.
Conclusion
Rockstar Games is also heavily focusing on background content, radio shows, advertisements, pedestrian conversations, and environmental storytelling. They want the open-world to feel more alive and immersive.
GTA 6 satire will also target modern society, ranging from conspiracy theories to internet culture and the sometimes-improbable ways people interact with everyday experiences.
However, Rockstar says it will focus on creating fictional versions of these modern trends, rather than simply incorporating real-world viral ideas into the game.
