Could Grand Theft Auto VI feature any Easter eggs? The possibilities are endless!
After 17 months of anticipation, Rockstar Games has finally released the second official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, reigniting excitement for the franchise’s long-awaited return to Vice City. Inspired by the vibrant, sun-soaked streets of Miami, the trailer offers a deeper look at the game’s setting, its central characters, and intriguing pop culture references—including a possible nod to the beloved series Dexter, which is currently experiencing a resurgence with new spinoffs like Dexter: Original Sin and Dexter: Resurrection, and will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year.
Trailer 2 Unleashed: Vice City Never Looked So Alive
Released on May 6, 2025, the GTA VI Trailer 2 has already shattered records and sent fans into a frenzy. The new footage introduces us more fully to the game’s dual protagonists—Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos—a modern-day criminal couple exuding undeniable Bonnie and Clyde vibes.
Set to the energetic retro beat of “Hot Together” by The Pointer Sisters, the trailer showcases an evolved Vice City like never before. Think neon-lit streets, packed beaches, wild nightlife, and a richly detailed open-world environment that captures the chaotic essence of Florida in all its cinematic glory. The game is officially set to release on May 26, 2026.
Dexter’s Shadow Over Vice City: A Legacy of Pop Culture References
Rockstar Games is no stranger to embedding pop culture Easter eggs into its vast open-world environments. From movie quotes to music choices, the studio excels at weaving real-world media influences into its narratives. One notable example is the subtle but unmistakable Dexter homage in GTA V Online.
In the Slasher Adversary Mode and special Halloween events, a chilling coroner’s board features the names “Dexter Fisher” and “Morgan Price”—a clever fusion of the iconic Dexter Morgan character. See the easter egg image below:
This hidden reference confirms that Rockstar is not only aware of Dexter’s cultural footprint but also enjoys giving players these fun, rewarding moments of recognition. It also fuels speculation about what else might be tucked into GTA VI’s massive world.
Will 'Dexter' Appear in GTA VI?
With the return of Vice City, excitement is building among fans hoping for Dexter-themed content, as the potential for clever Easter eggs feels limitless. The show, set in a fictionalized Miami, shares the same brooding atmosphere and criminal undercurrent that make it a natural fit within the Grand Theft Auto universe.
Although Trailer 2 doesn’t feature any overt references to Dexter, the setting and tone are perfectly primed for one. Rockstar is renowned for its subtle—and often hilarious—Easter eggs. Whether it’s a character with a suspiciously familiar face, a hidden “kill room,” or a sly nod via a license plate or in-game news clip, the chances of spotting a Dexter reference are promising.
Fans can expect to comb through every corner of Vice City in search of such references. And with the GTA VI map rumored to be Rockstar’s biggest yet, tracking them all down will be a challenge—but a thrilling one.
Final Thoughts: GTA VI, Dexter, and the Magic of Vice City
The second Grand Theft Auto VI trailer has rekindled the franchise’s flame, blending nostalgic callbacks with fresh storytelling. With Vice City rooted in Miami’s iconic culture, there’s plenty of room for Rockstar to tip its hat once more to Dexter, the show that turned Miami crime drama into high art.
As we count down to the game’s 2026 release, one thing is certain: GTA VI is shaping up to be not just a visual and narrative masterpiece, but also a treasure trove of cultural references. And for fans of both Dexter and Grand Theft Auto, the ride is just getting started.
