One of the long-standing discussions about GTA 6 has been the possibility of Jason and Lucia emerging as the main characters. Recently, a interesting claim has been made suggesting that there might be three playable characters in the game. According to this speculation, Raul Bautista could become a playable character in later chapters, not just as a side character.
The claim is evaluated in parallel with the descriptions of the characters and locations seen in the second GTA 6 trailer. Raul Bautista is described as an experienced bank robber and is shown as a character who might gain control in later stages of the game. However, at this point, there is speculation about Raul’s participation in gameplay without necessarily being Jason and/or Lucia. This suggests that he could potentially move from a purely side character to having a role in the main storyline.
Among players, there are various opinions supporting this theory. Some commentators believe Raul could be playable at the end of the game, while others suggest that if Jason or Lucia die, Raul might step in. A similar dynamic was also seen in Rockstar Games’ previous titles; in Red Dead Redemption 2, the lives or deaths of characters played a crucial role in the story flow. There are also suggestions linking Raul to well-known characters such as Holland or Lance Vance from the Van der Linde gang; some speculate a romantic relationship could be established with Lucia.
Therefore, different scenarios are being discussed about how Raul Bautista’s role could evolve. We will see which direction Rockstar Games takes until the game’s release; it’s important to follow developments knowing that all possibilities remain open.
