With the release of the GTA 6 Trailer 2 on May 6, 2025, the internet exploded with excitement. Set in the vibrant, chaotic world of Leonida, the game brings us back to Vice City after over two decades.

But as fans analyze every frame, one question keeps resurfacing: Which iconic gangs might return to reclaim their turf? Here’s a look at 4 legendary gangs that could make a comeback in GTA 6, and why fans are hoping they do.

When Tommy Vercetti took over the criminal underworld in GTA: Vice City (2002), he built his own mafia-style empire. The “Vercetti Gang” ruled the city, operating from the iconic Vercetti Estate (a clear nod to Scarface).

Their neon suits, high-speed chases in Infernus cars, and brutal efficiency made them unforgettable.While Tommy’s fate remains a mystery, fans are speculating that his legacy might still loom large in GTA 6. Maybe a new generation is carrying the Vercetti name, or maybe a rival gang is trying to erase it.

Led by the fiery Umberto Robina in GTA: Vice City, Los Cabrones were fiercely proud Cubans with a deep love for machismo and mayhem.

They clashed with Haitian gangs and ruled parts of Little Havana with baseball bats and machine guns.Given GTA 6’s strong Floridian and Latin American influences (especially with protagonist Lucia’s background), there’s a solid chance we’ll see Los Cabrones or a similar Cuban gang return—possibly modernized, more ruthless, and tech-savvy.

Not every gang has to come from the streets. The Sharks, from Vice City Stories, were more polished, upper-class thugs dealing in stolen goods and shady real estate.

Often underestimated due to their slick appearances and golf-club hangouts, they were still dangerous players in the city’s underbelly.GTA 6’s trailer showcases glamorous beachfronts, high-rises, and influencer culture—an ideal environment for a modernized version of The Sharks to thrive, perhaps with crypto scams and social media extortion added to their business model.

In GTA: Vice City, the Haitian Gang was a powerful force in Little Haiti, known for its street brutality and rumored ties to voodoo practices.

They were in constant turf wars with Los Cabrones, and their storylines brought a unique cultural texture to the game.With Leonida clearly drawing from Miami’s diverse cultural landscape, Rockstar might reintroduce the Haitian Gang—either as a reimagined crew with political ambitions or as a secretive, feared underworld faction dealing in occult crime.Whether it’s for nostalgia or storytelling depth, the return of iconic gangs could make GTA 6’s world feel both familiar and refreshingly layered. With Vice City’s legacy on the line and new protagonists entering the scene, it’s not just about who’s back, but who’s taking over. Which gang do you want to see rule Leonida again? Let the turf wars begin.
