"Would make a neat prologue": Fans react to the idea of GTA 6 story starting in prison

The GTA 6 story mode is expected to feature two playable protagonists - Lucia and Jason. Both were seen in the game's leaked development clips and although the former has been confirmed to feature based on the first trailer, the latter is yet to be officially introduced. Notably, Lucia was seen in prison in the initial moments of the trailer, leaving fans to wonder if the GTA 6 story mode would also start with her in jail.

Reddit user u/gatacugata recently uploaded a post on this topic and presented their idea wherein one might have to play as her in prison for a few moments before being set loose in Leonida.

Interestingly, some fans think Jason might help Lucia break out of prison. While this would be an intriguing scenario, the fact that Lucia has an ankle monitor in the game's official artwork suggests this might not be the case.

Nevertheless, it should be noted that any substantial GTA 6 story mode details are yet to be officially revealed.

Fans discuss theories for a possible GTA 6 story mode prologue with Lucia in prison

As noted from the fan reactions above, quite a few appreciate the theory of GTA 6 starting with Lucia in prison. The sequence of events in the title's debut trailer somewhat hinted at the same, but whether that is the case remains to be seen.

More about the game is expected to be showcased in GTA 6 trailer 2, especially regarding Jason. While a character resembling him did appear in the first trailer, he wasn't named and only featured briefly.

As far as the GTA 6 gameplay mechanics and other such details are concerned, they might be talked about in separate trailers close to release if Rockstar Games employs a similar approach for this title's marketing as they did with GTA 5.

Currently, fall of 2025 is the planned GTA 6 release window and fans expect multiple trailers and screenshots to be dropped by then.
