GTA 6 Fans Debating Whether Trailer 2 Teases Bonus Liberty City Map

A license plate, a hat, and a bit of hope

As one of the biggest franchises in all of entertainment, the newest GTA 6 trailer has received an overwhelming amount of attention, and now fans are going through it with a fine-tooth comb to try and find hints and secrets for the full game.

One theory that has come to the forefront is the idea that GTA 6 might feature a second Liberty City map alongside Vice City. The thinking comes from a few details found in Trailer 2, like a Liberty City license plate as well as a Liberty City hat spotted on a character in the big batch of new screenshots. Then, the official website confirms both Lucia and her mum are originally from Liberty City.

“More than anything, Lucia wants the good life her mom has dreamed of since their days in Liberty City — but instead of half-baked fantasies, Lucia is prepared to take matters into her own hands,” it says. A Twitter thread documenting the suggestion does read like a conspiracy theory, somewhat, but it’s clear Liberty City is a thing in some fashion in GTA 6.

This wouldn’t be the first time Rockstar has included a map from an old game in a new one, as Red Dead Redemption 2 featured the full map from the first title. There wasn’t all that much to do there, but you could still explore the original map and find some of its landmarks. You can view a comparison video below:
