Grand Theft Auto VI: Revealed Game World Details – Leonida, Vice City and Florida as Inspiration

Rockstar Games has released new images and details about the next GTA saga, offering a thorough look at Grand Theft Auto VI. The game, intended for release on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, is set in the vast region of Leonida, a territory that far exceeds the size of that of GTA V. According to Aaron Garbut, head of development and co-studio head of Rockstar, the map of Leonida is about twice the size of that of GTA V, with the aim of creating a larger, dense and interactive environment. The team thoroughly studied the different souls of Florida, drawing inspiration from Miami for Vice City, Everglades for Grassrivers, decadent resorts for Port Gellhorn and the northern rural area for Mount Kalaga National Park. The narrative will be centered on Jason Duval, an army veteran working in drug trafficking in Leonida Keys, and Lucia Caminos, native to Liberty City and expert in combat, poorly out of prison. The two protagonists can be controlled alternately. Rockstar embarked on a significant field research, visiting Miami and South Florida to study night areas, beaches and local life. The developers consulted former police officers, residents and screenwriters to fully understand the atmosphere, crime and dialects of the different areas of Leonida. The game presents six main regions: Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park. La dimensione della mappa di Leonida, quasi il doppio di quella di GTA V, è un dato particolarmente interessante. L’impegno di Rockstar nel ricreare con accuratezza l’atmosfera e la geografia della Florida, culminando nell'incorporazione di specifici luoghi reali come Miami (Vice City) e le Everglades (Grassrivers), suggerisce una volontà di offrire un'esperienza immersiva senza precedenti. Il fatto che i protagonisti, Jason Duval e Lucia Caminos, operino in un ambiente così vasto e stratificato – con Duval legato al traffico di droga nelle Leonida Keys e Caminos con esperienza nel combattimento proveniente da Liberty City – amplifica ulteriormente il potenziale per una narrazione complessa e ricca di sfaccettature. L'utilizzo di fonti reali come ex poliziotti e sceneggiatori, unito alla ricerca sul campo a Miami, sottolinea la meticolosa attenzione ai dettagli che Rockstar sta dedicando allo sviluppo di questo nuovo capitolo della saga GTA.
