While the leak was, without a doubt, a big concern for the officials at Rockstar Games, it also unleashed tons of unknown and unseen content from the in-development project.

The female central character is rumored to be named Lucia while the male character will be Jason. Moreover, another speculation from an insider states that the two could be interconnected closely. It means that GTA 6’s protagonists might be introduced as a couple. However, this is just an early theory, so nothing can be confirmed in any way.
