🗺️ GTA 6 Map: Vice City Returns in a Bigger World
Set in the fictional Leonida County, inspired by Florida, GTA 6 will bring back the neon-drenched Vice City, now part of a much larger, open-world environment. Players will explore varied regions including:
- Grassrivers (based on the Everglades)
- Leonida Keys (inspired by Florida Keys)
- Ambrosia (a rural area)
- Mount Kalaga National Park (mountainous terrain)
The new map is touted as Rockstar’s largest and most detailed ever, reflecting modern-day American society with heavy doses of satire.
👫 Protagonists: Lucia and Jason
For the first time, GTA features a female protagonist. Lucia and her partner Jason form a criminal couple, drawing parallels to Bonnie and Clyde. Their story is expected to blend romance, heists, and survival in the dangerous world of Leonida County.
