Lucia's hidden gun in the trailer fuels major betrayal speculation.
Rockstar's history of betrayals makes the theory highly plausible.
Fans debate Lucia's cunning vs. Jason's potential "fed" status.
GTA 6's release date has been on fans' minds for so long that they've seemingly given up waiting. Instead, speculation has taken over. After the second trailer dropped, theories exploded online, with one popular idea being that Lucia will betray her partner, Jason. Despite the trailer's portrayal of a Bonnie and Clyde-like romance, keen-eyed fans and subtle developer hints suggest the twist could be devastating.
The biggest piece of evidence that continues to fuel the betrayal theory primarily comes from a still in the most recent trailer. In this still, there is an intimate moment when Lucia hugs Jason, but upon closer inspection, a very unsettling detail is revealed: Lucia is holding a gun behind Jason's back.
Many have interpreted this ominous image as foreshadowing a possible betrayal, which is more figurative than literal. The blending of intimacy and concealed aggression ignited a firestorm of discussion across Reddit and YouTube.
A further nudge of suspicion surrounds a notably vague quote from Jason's character introduction: "Meeting Lucia could be the best thing to happen to him, or it could be the worst thing. He knows how he'd like it to end, but right now, it's hard to say."
The ambiguity of the quote, along with its clear suggestion of uncertainty and danger, is directly linked to the unfamiliarity of a relationship that is inherently dangerous. We interpret this as not just mood-setting but as a narrative cue that Jason's outcome with Lucia is hardly guaranteed.

Rockstar Games, the studio responsible for the Grand Theft Auto series, has a long-standing history of betrayal-based storylines. Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2, in particular, had lead characters who were betrayed by trusted individuals, resulting in deeply emotional and unsatisfactory outcomes.
Given Rockstar's history of storytelling, a betrayal plotline between GTA 6's main characters would be a natural fit. This twist would add complexity to their emotional relationship, set against the backdrop of the game's high-stakes world.
Some fan theories are a little bolder, however, with speculation that Lucia, being portrayed as the more notorious and cunning of the duo, could manipulate Jason somehow. Some fans speculate that Lucia is the most cunning strategist in GTA 6. This theory is fueled by her hints of a prison history and her ruthless motivation and determination, as seen in the trailers.
Some fans theorize that Jason might be working with the police, given their presence in the GTA universe. This potential allegiance could lead to Jason betraying Lucia, offering an alternative to the theory that Lucia is the one who betrays him. The second trailer also includes the part where someone asks if Jason is a 'fed,' complicating the two conveyed dynamics.
Rockstar Games has remained tight-lipped about the GTA 6 storyline, but the trailers have spoken volumes. The beautiful imagery and subtle details have sparked intense speculation among fans. As a result, the community is filled with theories and predictions about the game's narrative.
Lucia's embrace has sparked speculation, with some seeing it as a possible foreshadowing of betrayal or a symbol of their tumultuous relationship. Others view it as a marketing tactic to build hype. Either way, it has raised expectations and fueled anticipation for the game's launch.
The game's complex moral dilemma and emotional depth have created high expectations among fans. As the release approaches, anticipation is building for a thought-provoking experience. With its intricate storytelling, the game is poised to deliver a memorable and impactful experience.
