GTA VI: a trailer, a lot of waiting, and a lot of questions

The year 2023 was marked by the release of many high quality games, including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Sea of ​​Stars, Alan Wake 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, Tchia, Jusant, Final Fantasy XVI, Lies of P, Super Mario Bros. Wonder or Diablo IV, Starfield and Street Fighter 6. This is only a short selection, which demonstrates the quite exceptional character of last year in terms of outputs. But the very end of the year was not only marked by the coronation of Baldur’s Gate 3, it was also marked by the long-awaited officialization of Grand Theft Auto VI. After announcing an appointment, Rockstar is taken by surprise by a leak and releases, a little earlier than expected, the first trailer for the game.

This confirms the return to Vice City, the presence of a couple of heroes, and a world that promises to be more dense and alive than ever. However, no information on the gameplay, the video being there to set the scene and make us understand that social networks will have a central place in the adventure. Recently, T-Pain and Schoolboy Q announced that they are working on the game’s soundtrack, which was later confirmed. This is one of the few confirmed pieces of information, Rockstar seeking to control the pace of dissemination of information related to its production. For their part, the players seek to learn as much as possible about the two main characters, Lucia and Jason.

What if the actor playing Jason was him?

For Jason, things are moving very slowly, as we don’t see much of him and he only says one word in the trailer. Some remain convinced that the inevitable Troy Baker (Death Standing, The Last of Us) lends his voice to the character, but the actor has denied this rumor. Bryan Zampella’s name was also mentioned, but there is nothing to support this, even if the actor enjoys publishing images evoking Vice City. So the investigation continues and a few budding investigators think they have found something concrete.

By searching the CVs published on the Resumes Actors Access site, several people and our colleagues from Game Rant discovered an interesting element when they arrived on the page, now private, of Gregory Joseph Connors. On it, we could in fact read that the 37-year-old actor had landed a “main” role for a production expected in 2025, signed Rockstar Games. The only game from the studio expected for 2025 being GTA 6, fans quickly deduced that he was the actor giving his voice and part of his features to Jason.

The move to “private” of the actor’s CV is confirmation for many, but it should be kept in mind that Rockstar Games did not announce anything on this subject. In the same way, and if thinking about Jason is consistent, Gregory Joseph Connors could play another major character very well. An associate of the couple, a long-time friend, the main antagonist… Anything is possible. Gregory Joseph Connors is probably involved in the GTA 6 project, it remains to be officially discovered in what way.
