As Fans Wait For GTA 6 Launch, From Trevor Philips To Big Smoke, Check Out These 5 Iconic Characters

It is being widely speculated that GTA 6 launch may get delayed and it will not be introduced during the Fall 2025 period even though Take-Two, the parent company behind GTA, has indicated it will be. This is because Take-Two plans to launch Borderlands 4 on September 23, making it unlikely that both major titles will release around the same time to avoid a clash in sales. However, ahead of GTA 6 launch, take a look at these 5 iconic GTA characters from Trevor Philips, Big Smoke, Niko Bellic To Tommy Vercetti.

However, ahead of GTA 6 launch, take a look at these 5 iconic GTA characters from Trevor Philips, Big Smoke, Niko Bellic To Tommy Vercetti.

Also, Take-Two has yet to release GTA 6 trailer 2 too. And that is being awaited with great anticipation by fans. Not only will it provide insight into the game, it will also mean that GTA 6 launch is near. If the trailer is not announced in March, it may ensure that GTA 6 launch is delayed.

While the wait continues, the internet has been flooded with 'we got this, before GTA 6' memes, referencing unexpected things that are happening before the game's release. 

Besides memes, other things keeping fans occupied are discussions about potential features, characters and possible plot twists in GTA 6.

According to the GTA Base website, Rockstar will continue the trend of multiple playable characters in GTA 6. It is being said that the game will feature the male protagonist, Jason, and a female (first ever for GTA) protagonist, Lucia. 

Leaked clips suggest that Lucia and Jason may well be in a relationship, which will add something really new to the game. There are also reports that the story is likely inspired by the Great Depression-era bank-robbing couple, Bonnie and Clyde.

Carl "CJ" Johnson: There seems to be consensus among GTA fans that CJ is one of the most, if not the most, memorable character etched in their hearts. Voiced by Young Maylay, the San Andreas protagonist evolves from a grieving brother to a neighbourhood hero. Many fans seem to agree that CJ’s character profile and backstory are "undeniable." He's also become globally recognised through the 'Here We Go Again' meme.

Trevor Philips: Multiple Reddit discussion threads and social media debates place Trevor, the GTA V protagonist, as a close second. Described as an unpredictable meth-fueled outlaw, his blend of loyalty and cruelty has created some unforgettable moments for the fans.

Tommy Vercetti: With his extravagant 1980s vibe, a betrayed Tommy uses his wit and ambition to dominate Vice City in GTA: Vice City (2002). Many fans argue that he is the most recognisable character.

Niko Bellic: In GTA 4, Niko appears as an immigrant seeking redemption. His moral dilemmas and painful memories bring a deep resonance to his character.

Big Smoke: His infamous "two number nines" line from San Andreas have become a meme, but his betrayal of CJ added serious depth to the plot.
