New GTA 6 character swapping details revealed: Jason and Lucia can 'play as a couple, or go off and cause chaos independently'
An interview published in Dazed magazine provides some juicy new details about GTA 6's design and development.
GTA 6's dynamic character swapping feature allows players to either play as protagonists Jason and Lucia together, or go off on independent missions. This innovative system enables players to cruise the highways as Jason while Lucia scrolls through the in-game phone in the passenger seat, or vice versa. This "couple mode" is designed to capture the love story aspect of the game, while still allowing for solo play.
The interview with magazine Dazed reveals that Rockstar has significantly expanded its team size for GTA 6, dedicating an entire office in LA to crafting the intricate details of the game's open world. The studio even enlisted over 50 street artists to design the murals for the game's version of Miami's Wynwood art district, and hired real race car drivers to perfect the vehicle physics.
GTA 6 players can expect to encounter virtual versions of Florida Man, the meme-worthy archetype known for its wild antics. The game's soundtrack will feature Miami bass, Miami artists like Kodak Black and Sexyy Red, and high-end Miami nightlife venues. Jason, the ex-military drug runner protagonist, and Lucia, the amateur fighter recently released from prison, have distinct backgrounds that will influence the relationship players can build with them.
Player choices and behavior will have a profound impact on the relationship between Jason and Lucia, going far beyond previous Rockstar titles.
