Rockstar is framing Jason and Lucia as a couple on the run. In Dazed's deep dive published on 6 September, Rupert Humphries, Rockstar's senior vice president of narrative, called GTA VI "a Bonnie and Clyde-type narrative".
Dazed reports that more than 50 real street artists were brought in to design murals in places like Vice City's Stockyard, which is based on Miami's Wynwood.
According to Dazed, the Rockstar team has more than doubled in size since Red Dead Redemption 2. It has a branch in Los Angeles dedicated almost solely to in-game pedestrians, and its vehicle-handling team is made up of race-car drivers.
Dazed writes that if you walk down the street with a rifle, the city "will have something to say about it", as non-player characters react more than ever.
