The latest GTA 6 rumors regarding Lucia might open many doors for Rockstar Games to introduce an epic storytelling tool from Red Dead Redemption. Many leaks and rumors have been going around about GTA 6, with the latest one claiming that Lucia might have a child. This would be the perfect opportunity for the devs to add more complicated and deeper emotions to GTA‘s world of crime.
Both GTA and Red Dead Redemption are Rockstar’s biggest franchises, providing players with amazing, open-world experiences. However, the latter deals with various emotional layers as compared to Grand Theft Auto. While GTA is popular for its surprising and insensitive humour, GTA 6 reportedly adding a character who’s a mother would definitely be something new for the franchise.
Not only this, but a specific trick in Red Dead Redemption can be used once again for the upcoming GTA game and how it’ll handle the character. Red Dead Redemption’s most memorable moment takes place in the game’s epilogue when players step in the shoes of a grown-up Jack Marston, John Marston’s son, while he avenges his father’s death.
After playing as John for a really long time and watching Jack grow as a character throughout the game’s story, stepping in Jack’s shoes after years is a moment that’s filled with emotions and remains one of the best in all Red Dead Redemption games. The game’s epilogue is a touching end to the game’s story, and GTA 6 can find itself in a similar position.
If the rumors turn out to be true, Lucia might abandon her baby at a deli in a flashback. Obviously, these are only rumors and they shouldn’t be taken seriously, but if this leak comes true, it would mean that GTA 6 is entering a whole new territory. The GTA franchise hasn’t ever added young children to its stories, this leak would break a long-term tradition in the series.
On top of this, it would also start a new trend of introducing a more emotional story that hasn’t been explored in a GTA game yet. If Lucia abandons or reconnects with her child, it would take the game to a whole new place and would make their relationship a lot more compelling.
What effect could Lucia’s addition have on GTA 6?
The addition of Lucia would be the first time GTA has used a female protagonist, meaning that Grand Theft Auto 6 can be a completely different game as compared to its predecessors just because of all the possibilities her personality and perspective would bring to the game’s story. A mother having no choice but to commit crimes to support her child and survive would be interesting to watch.
Moreover, since the protagonists Lucia and Jason are reportedly inspired by the Bonnie and Clyde duo, they might not have a happy ending. If GTA 6 ends on a sad note for the two protagonists, Lucia’s child could be the center of attention in the next game after her death in a way similar to Red Dead Redemption’s Jack and John Marston story.
While we won’t know anything for sure until the official GTA 6 trailer releases in early December, the game can create new trends for the GTA franchise. Fans have high expectations from the game, and an emotional approach to the game’s story might just be exactly what we need. Owing to the Red Dead Redemption games, we already know Rockstar Games can write an emotional story; let’s just hope they bring that to GTA as well.
