GTA 6 reveals Leonida: a huge new play area

Although Vice City has been a focal point of rumors surrounding GTA 6, Rockstar Games has taken a bold direction by creating Leonida, a fictional state that encapsulates the essence of Florida. Leonida offers a diverse backdrop, from towering skyscrapers and palm-lined avenues to alligator-filled swamps and idyllic tropical islands.

More than a city, a state to explore

The introduction of Leonida in GTA 6 marks a significant development for the series.

Leonida promises to be a vast and varied playground, where the familiar streets of Vice City are just one part of a much bigger and richer experience. Players can expect an unforgettable adventure in this fictional state, reflecting the diversity and richness of Florida, while bringing the unique touch of Rockstar Games.
