Speaking of Lucia in GTA VI, Perez said “Lucia walking through the crowd and, well…Let’s just say she wasn’t in the mood for anyone standing in her way. That’s one of the things I’ve always loved about her. She has an energy of her own.”
What to know about Lucia's role in GTA VI
Lucia teams up with Jason Duval in GTA VI, which will be based in Miami. Perez wrote on her Instagram bio ‘Somewhere in Vice City’, in a nod to the upcoming game. The character dynamic has been described as akin to Bonnie and Clyde.
The gameplay showed that Lucia enters the story after spending time at the Leonida Penitentiary and while Jason is the more reserved and stoic of the two, Perez's character appears to be more aggressive and someone who's willing to get herself in trouble.
“I keep coming back to this moment. Not because of the guns. Not because of the helicopters. Not even because of everything happening around us. But because of what’s between them. Jason and Lucia were never just two characters standing in front of a camera. There were long days. Early mornings. Conversations between takes. Small moments that probably didn’t mean much at the time. And now I look at scenes like this and realize… People are finally going to see what we spent so long creating. A story about trust. Loyalty. Fear. And having one person beside you when everything else starts falling apart. I’ve been waiting a long time to watch this world become real for everyone else. And honestly…Seeing pieces of it come to life still gives me chills. Lucia. Jason. Vice City.”
