Rockstar Games decided to include a lot of information in the 90-second GTA 6 trailer. Not only did it confirm that the upcoming title is set in Vice City, but also revealed a lot about the map as well as the protagonists. it was during one such scene that fans spotted a familiar figure.

At the 33-second mark in the trailer, people can spot a character walking in front of the building in a white suit. Not only is he dressed like Lance Vance from Vice City, but he also has a similar walking style with swaying arms. However, this rumor has divided the fans over whether it is a good thing to include characters who have canonically died in the previous games in the upcoming title.

For those who are unaware, Tommy Vercetti gets in a gunfight with Lance Vance in the "Keep Your Friends Close" mission that results in the latter's death. So, it is a bit confusing for some fans to see him walking the streets of Vice City after so many years. Since the GTA 6 Vice City map leak has already disclosed a lot of things, it is not far-fetched to believe that more characters might make an appearance.


In a tweet by @Vinewood_motors, they shared a side-by-side comparison of Lance walking in front of the Ocean View Hotel, which is also rumored to be in GTA 6. However, most people believe that this is merely a nod towards the OG title, and Rockstar will not bring back a dead character.

@ZacCoxTV also shared the same info in another tweet. Here are a few reactions that:

Well, it remains to be seen if the studio goes with this decision or simply leaves it as a small reference to further confirm that Grand Theft Auto 6 is set in Vice City. The upcoming trailers will reveal more information about this topic.
