Jason Duval

Lead character

Wants an easy life. Keeps finding the opposite.

Jason grew up around criminals, spent time in the Army, and later worked for drug runners in the Leonida Keys. His relationship with Lucia may become either the best or worst thing to happen to him.

Profile

Rockstar's official introduction places Jason's upbringing around criminals, followed by service in the Army and then work for drug runners in the Leonida Keys.

He currently lives at one of Brian Heder's properties in the Keys and does local work for him.

Rockstar frames his relationship with Lucia as the pivot of his story — potentially the best or the worst thing to happen to him. No outcome has been described.

Officially Confirmed

  • They are shown travelling together by vehicle.
  • They are shown living together, including everyday home scenes.
  • They appear together in social scenes, including holding hands.
  • They are shown communicating while separated.

THE VI Analysis

A tighter structure than GTA V's three leads

THE VI analysis: two linked leads reads as a more intimate structure than GTA V's three largely independent protagonists.

What was shown

  • This is our reading of the footage, not a Rockstar statement.
  • GTA V used three protagonists who mostly operated separately outside of heists; the Extended Look shows Jason and Lucia sharing scenes, vehicles and a home.

Still unknown

  • Rockstar has not compared the two structures, nor described mission design around the pair.
Officially Confirmed

Character switching

The player can move between Jason and Lucia.

What was shown

  • The Extended Look visibly demonstrates a transition from Lucia's base jump across Vice City to Jason.
  • The transition is presented as a continuous camera move rather than a hard cut to a menu.

Still unknown

  • Rockstar has not explained switching restrictions, availability or cooldowns.
  • Whether switching is blocked during missions, pursuits or specific story beats is unknown.
  • Whether there is a switch wheel, and what it contains, has not been shown in detail.
