"Also on August 18, CyberLeek published images purporting to show the map of GTA 6’s city, Leonida."

"It was initially unclear whether the footage was genuine, but as Rockstar begin issuing DMCA takedown notices, it appeared to verify the legitimacy."

"GTA mapping communities have extensively researched the images and found that numerous details line up with years of reconstructed information from Rockstar’s official marketing materials."

"It would be an understatement to say that having videos of GTA 6 gameplay leak in this way has been heartbreaking for our team, and this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time"

"The publisher has reportedly been hitting people who are sharing two minute-long gameplay clips and a screenshot of the Florida-inspired map with DMCA takedown notices."

"It's worth treating the clips and map with some skepticism, since they may not be entirely legitimate."

"It's also unclear how old they are and what may have changed in the meantime"

"tirelessly mapping out Rockstar's fictional state, largely based on the real-life Miami, brick by brick, street by street."

"nearly 400 dedicated community cartographers"

"In 2022, fans launched a mapping project to collect and analyze all known information about GTA 6."

"we are incredibly excited for players to experience the sprawling state of Leonida and a return to modern day Vice City."

"Home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond. Tour a few of the must-see destinations across the sunshine state."

"Leonida will teem with over 170 animal species across land, air, and sea, several of which have never appeared in a Rockstar Game."

"Native Florida animals such as flamingos, manatees, pelicans, and, of course, alligators will coexist alongside invasive creatures such as green iguanas, cane toads, feral cats, and even rhesus macaque monkeys"

"You can also track certain animals categorized as Rare, Discoverable, and Legendary, though the identities of these harder-to-find creatures are being kept secret."

"According to Rockstar, GTA 6 will feature over 170 animal species, including 60 types of birds, 30 land mammals, and sea creatures such as sharks, whales, and jellyfish."

"Tour a few of the must-see destinations across the sunshine state."

"According to Rockstar Games‘ head of development/co-studio head Aaron Garbut, Leonida is the biggest map Rockstar has ever created “by some degree”, describing it as twice as large as GTA 5, with more detail."

"That’s according to a new preview featured in the latest issue of Game Informer"

At 02:10-02:28: "The map is twice the size of GTA 5 and three times that of the playable area of Red Dead 2. The city itself is twice as big as Los Santos, but also the built-up area outside Vice City is 11 times the built-up area outside of Los Santos in GTA 5."

At 08:52-09:12: "Rob threw some figures at me. The map is twice the size of GTA 5's map, three times the size of Red Dead 2's map. Vice City itself is twice the size of Los Santos."

"GTA 6's map of Leonida is 'twice the size of GTA 5's map' and 'three times the size of Red Dead 2's map.'"

"The exact size of the GTA 6 map is officially unconfirmed by Rockstar, but clearly unprecedented in the franchise"

At 16:33-16:41: "Me confirmó uno de los técnicos que estaba en la sala con nosotros que el mapa sería tres veces más grande que el Red Dead 2."

"The exact size of the GTA 6 map is officially unconfirmed by Rockstar, but clearly unprecedented in the franchise"

"Also on August 18, CyberLeek published images purporting to show the map of GTA 6’s city, Leonida."

"For our exclusive cover story on Grand Theft Auto VI, Rockstar Games details the game’s advanced weather systems."

"Florida is known for experiencing tropical storms and seasonal hurricanes; the same is true in Grand Theft Auto VI’s Leonida."

"The game also features localized storms, meaning you can occupy a dry, sunny area and spot storms in the distance where it is actually pouring down. Drive to that spot after the storm passes, and you’ll be able to tell it just rained thanks to persistent puddles and other wet surfaces."

"While we don’t know how often these larger, more violent storms occur or how they affect gameplay and storytelling"

"“We have re-engineered our weather system to make everything much more localized and persistent, and really wanted the world to feel dynamically solid and achieve a sense of scale we haven’t felt before,” Owen Shepherd, vice president of art for lighting and rendering at Rockstar, told Game Informer."
