Why Some Grand Theft Auto Fans Think Liberty City Is a Secret Location in GTA 6
As the dust settles on the record-breaking GTA 6 Trailer 2, fans have begun to establish various plot and gameplay theories, some of which do indeed make a lot of sense. Where the ‘Liberty City is in GTA 6’ theory stands between ‘no-chance’ and ‘sure thing’ remains to be seen, however.

Liberty City is the GTA series’ take on New York City, and was the setting for 2008’s GTA 4 as well as 2009 spin-off GTA: Chinatown Wars. GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida (Florida), which includes Vice City, GTA’s take on Miami. Vice City and Liberty City, like their real-world counterparts, are situated over a thousand miles apart.
But could GTA 6 also include, perhaps eventually, Liberty City? Some fans think there is evidence in Trailer 2 to suggest that might be on the cards.
There are a number of mentions of Liberty City in Trailer 2 and the accompanying screenshots. For example, Trailer 2 features a Liberty City license plate. Meanwhile, one of the new screenshots includes a Liberty City hat.

Here’s one of the big clues fans have been debating since last week: protagonist Lucia is actually from Liberty City, or at the very least has family there and lived there.
Do you think Liberty City is making a return in GTA 6?
