‘GTA 6' Trailer: Bank Robberies, Gun-Toting Strippers, Bayou Chases and More Mayhem in Vice City and Beyond
The new trailer for the highly anticipated video game teases more of the story and mayhem that awaits players in 'GTA 6,' which was recently delayed to May 26, 2026. It shows the dual protagonists, Jason and Lucia, and all the trouble they can cause in Leonida, the Florida-inspired state for the new game. There's also a glimpse of Vice City, the Miami-like hotspot that was previously the setting for 2002's 'Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.'

'Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive,' reads an official logline for the trailer.
It starts with a shirtless Jason working on a leaky beach house and picking up Lucia from prison — but not before robbing a store, picking up a six-pack of beer and getting a quick workout in on the beach. The two lovers are reunited and get down to business quickly. They cheers to 'new beginnings,' move into a new house and start committing a litany of crimes. They rob businesses, shoot at police, steal bank vaults, ride jetskis and, of course, hit the Vice City night clubs.
'GTA 6' was originally slated to release this fall, but Rockstar Games announced last week it was getting delayed to next May.
'With every game we have released, the goal has always been to try and exceed your expectations, and 'Grand Theft Auto VI' is no exception,' the company said. 'We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve.'
Watch the trailer below.

The Food at Epic Universe Is Wild, Weird, and Shockingly Good
Courtesy of Epic Universe When Universal Studios opened the first major US theme park in over 20 years on May 22, they promised immersive restaurants with wild theme dining. I've eaten theme park snacks from around the globe for over 20 years, so I knew I would go. Did I travel several hours to eat a black-bunned burger with a bubbling green mocktail? Reader, I did. I learned very quickly that the food at Epic Universe is different from other parks. For fans, 'theming' is a big deal. You visit these parks to escape reality for a little bit, and the more all-encompassing the theme, the more likely you are to lose yourself in the world of the park. For us theme park adults, we love when a park and its experiences feel part of that specific world. The rides and Epic themes are getting a lot of attention, but the food almost feels like a secret. A far cry from standard hot dogs and cotton candy, ingredients like saffron labneh, coconut nectar, and mango bread create exciting and immersive dining experiences here. Burnt nuggets are actually tasty pimento cheese bites. Mustachioed Luigi grilled chicken sandwiches are packed with basil pesto. Yeah, theme park food is weird. Generally, it's a lot of handheld stuff you're eating while walking, like pretzels or turkey legs. It's sensory overload, with bright, artificial food coloring or strange textures. It's served by people in costume and out of adult sippy cups. But done right, theme park food is freeing, a chance suspend reality and eat something drawn from imagination. At Epic the food is fantastical and it tastes good. The park is made up of five lands: Dark Universe, Isle of Berk from 'How To Train Your Dragon', The Wizarding World of Harry Potter's Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World and Celestial Park. Even better: You feel like you're actually visiting that world, whether you're eating in a cafe from Harry Potter or a restaurant Dracula might own. Right now, there are 25 food and drink options, enough bars, snack stands and restaurants to actually eat three full meals at the parks. Only Atlantic, The Blue Dragon Pan-Asian Restaurant, and Toadstool Cafe require booking ahead—they're popular, and in the case of Toadstool, it's the only place to really get a sit-down meal in Super Nintendo World. My verdict: Throughout the park, the menus are completely unserious, with unnatural shapes or colors based on the stories of their respective lands, served in cone-shaped bread or topped with glitter—but really delicious too. Dark Universe is the spooky park celebrating classic monster movies, with a Frankenstein ride, an oddly sexy Invisible Man, and Dracula's spot, Das Stakehaus (get it?) serving vampire-themed dishes. Compared to other theme parks that only provide plastic—quelle horreur!—Das Stakehaus serves salmon, chicken and cuts of steak on real plates with real black silverware, which makes me feel like an adult who can be trusted with cutlery. The meat is flanked by gorgeous sides of nutty maitake mushrooms, roasted carrots and buttery acorn squash. The vegetables were incredibly fresh, unexpected for theme park fare. By far, the very best item at Das Stakehaus is the Greek yogurt panna cotta called Labotocotta. One silky bite of bright pink raspberry sauce and I forgot that I was spooning into a brain-shaped dessert while a vampire familiar played the violin nearby. I've found hearty theme park breakfasts are a unicorn, but there's a full petit déjeuner menu at Café L'air De La Sirène, the main restaurant of The Ministry of Magic. While superfans line up for Bièraubeurre Crêpes (French for Butterbeer, if you didn't pick that up), the Oeufs en Cocotte— poached eggs with mornay sauce and gruyère cheese—is super filling and feels authentic to lounging at a Parisian cafe. Later on, I came back for the bright yellow and green cocktail called a Lobe Blaster cocktail at Ministry of Magic's Bar Moonshine just around the corner. Made with punchy moonshine, limoncello, and absinthe, it's a fan favorite for the immediate punch of lemon-lime, gummy candy-like sweetness, and smooth minty finish. It goes down easy, but the real draw is the fantastical advice from bartenders in striped, tailored vests to avoid using Portkeys after imbibing. If there's a more gorgeous pizzeria than Pizza Moon, I haven't found it. In Epic's main hub of Celestial Park, the vintage theatre setting is like stepping into the 1902 Georges Méliès film 'Le Voyage Dans la Lune,' complete with a pizza oven shaped like a steampunk rocket. Whimsical theatrical cutouts make the perfect backdrop for Pizza Lunare, an actual work of art consisting of a thick purple ube crust, which evoked a muted, earthy sweetness and topped with mountain peaks of custardy ricotta dotted with crispy pancetta and garlic confit. I never expected to gobble down garlic béchamel at a theme park or even crave a heavy pizza between zippy coaster rides, but I have been converted. People visit theme parks for the rides and shows, but at Epic Universe, Universal Studios presents transportive meals as another reason to book your ticket. These dishes open park goers up to new ingredients and fresh presentation. Gone are the days of simply stuffing a pretzel into your face while waiting in line. (Though we love that, too and the Frankenstein's monster pretzel is pretty cool!) With unconventional ingredients and creative menus, Epic Universe is showing park goers that good theming and quality can make a great meal. Originally Appeared on Bon Appétit

Top 5 concerts this week in Sarasota, Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, Palmetto

This week's local events calendar will be largely be dominated by the Fourth of July holiday, so it'll be fairly quiet when it comes to concerts. Yet that doesn't mean local live music lovers are totally out of luck — in fact, there'll even be a few shows on the Fourth of July itself. Those include a reggae band, some of whose members played Tampa's MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre the previous night, as well as a blues rocker's group.
