Summary
SomeGrand Theft Autofans think they’ve spotted Lance Vance fromGrand Theft Auto: Vice City, or at least a character made to look like him, walking around in theGrand Theft Auto 6trailer. TheGrand Theft Auto 6trailer was released recently and immediately broke YouTube records. With fans having had to wait so long to get their first glimpse of the highly-anticipated game, it’s really no surprise that theGTA 6trailer is being torn apart and analyzed endlessly.
Grand Theft Auto 6fans have found all kinds of details by hyper-analyzing the trailer. Small, butimpressiveGTA 6detailshave been discovered from these efforts, and fan theories have been formed about what the trailer means for the game’s story. One of the leading theories is that the events in theGTA 6trailer are backwards, suggesting that protagonist Lucia and her partner in crime robbing the store at the end of the trailer is actually one of the first things that happens in the game.
One of the latest discoveries from theGTA 6trailerpoints out a background character that looks suspiciously like Lance Vance from 2002’sGrand Theft Auto: Vice City. Twitter user Vinewood Motors pointed out a character walking in the background that appears to be dressed very similarly to Lance Vance, though this doesn’t mean that they are literally the same character. The more likely scenario is that this NPC is meant to be an homage to Lance Vance, or that their similarities are just a coincidence. After all, Lance Vance shouldn’t exist in theGTA 6universe since it’s separate from the PS2-era games. Beyond that,GTA 6is set in modern times, whereasVice Citywas set in the 80s.
It would make sense for Rockstar to addGrand Theft Auto: Vice City-centric Easter eggs toGrand Theft Auto 6, though. After all,Grand Theft Auto 6features Vice Cityas one of its major locations. ManyGTAfans have fond memories of Vice City and would get a kick out of seeing nods to events and characters from that game. So while fans shouldn’t hold their breath that Lance Vance will literally be inGrand Theft Auto 6, the trailer suggests there’s a chance that they will run into characters that at least resemble him.
If previous Rockstar Games titles are any indication,Grand Theft Auto 6will likely be stuffed with Easter eggs to discover. TheGTA 6open worldis expected to be massive, and so it will likely take fans a significant amount of time to hunt them all down. They’ll get to start their Easter egg hunts whenGrand Theft Auto 6launches in 2025.
