GTA 6 未在宣传材料中展示 Boobie

GTA 6 Isn’t Showing Boobie In Promotional Material

The marketing machine for Grand Theft Auto 6 is at full steam, and while Rockstar Games is showcasing many of the characters players will be encountering in the open-world crime game, one character with a very distinct name has been largely absent from promos.

Viewers of the GTA 6 Extended Look might have been snickering every time protagonists Jason and Lucia uttered the word “Boobie,” but the official GTA 6 website indicates that the character of Boobie Ike is a Vice City powerhouse. Though he’s implied to be a highly influential figure in the game’s story, he hasn’t made an appearance in any trailers.

Boobie is the owner of the Jack of Hearts club, seen in the extended look trailer. His “legitimate empire” also includes real estate investments and a recording studio, and in his words, “the drug money pay for it all.” The first segment of the extended look video has Jason and Lucia making a pickup on behalf of Boobie, and simply saying his name was enough to grant them access.

The lack of Boobie in any GTA 6 trailers does prompt curiosity about his larger role in the story. It has already been the subject of speculation in social media posts and YouTube videos, with some predicting that he’ll turn out to be an antagonist who double-crosses Jason and Lucia. It’s also possible that Boobie’s presence in the story will be by name only, as he pulls strings from the background.

A more fun theory is that Boobie is a pivotal character with a prominent voice actor–perhaps Rockstar is hiding a surprise, and Boobie’s voice is recognizable enough that fans would catch on too quickly (as they did with Stephen Root as Brian). Or, you know, maybe he just isn’t a very important character and fans are just overthinking this, as they have with several things related to GTA 6.

While Boobie Ike isn’t seen in the freshly dropped GTA 6 launch trailer, there are still a ton of details to squeeze out of that minute and a half. We’ve learned a lot more about GTA 6’s lengthy development through recent reports, and we’ll finally see the fruits of that labor when it releases on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
