The gaming community is abuzz with excitement as the actors for the much-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 have been disclosed in a new report. This announcement, which surfaced moments ago, has given us a glimpse into the talent that will bring life to the characters in GTA 6.
Slated for a 2025 release, the game will star Manni L. Perez as the character Lucia and Dylan Rourke as Jason. Perez is familiar with the world of GTA, having previously voiced characters in GTA Online. Her acting credits include roles in popular series such as “Law & Order” and “Jessica Jones.” Rourke, on the other hand, is making his debut in video game voiceovers, though he’s recognized for his acting in television series like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Modern Family”.
GTA 6’s narrative is set to unfold around Lucia and Jason, a pair of criminals, in the fictional state of Leonida, which draws inspiration from Florida and the beloved Vice City. The existence of the game was first acknowledged by Rockstar Games in February 2022.
The game’s big reveal was initially scheduled for December 5, but an unexpected turn of events led to the revelation being made a day earlier, on December 4, confirming the game’s release for 2025. The trailer, significant for being crafted from actual gameplay footage, demonstrated the game’s expansive open-world and the fluidity between narrative and play.
Mike York, a former animator at Rockstar Games, commended the advancements in the game’s visuals, emphasizing that the trailer’s events are generated in real-time within the game’s environment, eschewing the need for pre-rendered scenes. This attention to detail contributes to the extensive development timeline.
With the unveiling of the voice actors for Grand Theft Auto 6, the anticipation for the game’s release is mounting. The game promises to deliver an engaging and deep experience, continuing the legacy of the acclaimed series. Keep an eye out for further news as the release date approaches.
