Leonida at a Glance

  • Leonida is the state that contains the six regions in Rockstar’s official tour.
  • The setting extends beyond Vice City into islands, wetlands, industrial communities and northern wilderness.
  • The story opens in the Leonida Keys, and the map reveals areas as the player explores them.

Overview

Leonida is the state in which GTA 6 is set and the backdrop for Jason and Lucia’s story. Vice City is its major urban destination, but Rockstar’s tour extends well beyond the city. The Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park each have their own environments and communities rather than forming one continuous metropolitan area.

In an interview, Rockstar’s Rob Nelson named the variety of modern Florida and Miami as a reason for choosing this setting. Leonida draws on those contemporary communities, environments and contrasts, but its geography is fictional and does not follow a real-world road map.

The six regions

Region Description
Vice City Urban neighborhoods, beaches, commerce and a cruise port.
Leonida Keys Tropical archipelago and coastal leisure alongside dangerous waters.
Grassrivers Mangrove wetlands known for alligators.
Port Gellhorn A former vacation destination marked by economic decline.
Ambrosia Industry, the Allied Crystal sugar refinery and a local biker presence.
Mount Kalaga National Park Northern wilderness with hunting, fishing and off-road trails.

Story movement and exploration

Rockstar’s story synopsis describes a conspiracy that stretches across the state after an easy score goes wrong. Nelson has said the story opens in the Keys and that safehouses change with the story’s chapters.

Nelson also said that unexplored areas stay hidden on the map until the player visits them.
