The popular game Grand Theft Auto is getting ready for its next version. GTA 5 was a big hit, so now everyone is expecting Rockstar Games to make an even better game. The upcoming game GTA vi is rumored to be set in a big version of Florida called Leonida. There’s not much information yet, but people are talking about it a lot.
Rockstar has a reputation for making very detailed open-world game settings. Vice City, Liberty City, and Los Santos, each city had their type of crazy city life. This time, get ready for a sunny adventure in Leonida, a place that looks a lot like Florida. Let us know about the upcoming GTA vi map and related details about it in depth.
What Does The GTA VI Trailer Gives Out?
The GTA 6 trailer talks about three different places, and because Rockstar wants to make the game even more exciting than the last one, it’s likely that GTA 6 will have more areas to explore.
These three places are Vice Dale County, Leonard County, and Kelly County. We can see Vice Dale County on the Sheriff’s badge in the background of Mega Noticias’ news report. Leonard County appears on a police car in a fictional social media clip from PlanetLeonidaMan and also Kelly County is listed on different road signs.
Expected Details About GTA VI Map Counties
- Vice City is like Miami, and Vice Dale County is probably like Miami-Dade County. This area includes the city, its surrounding areas, and parts of the Everglades. We think the next Grand Theft Auto game will only have the city in it.
- Rockstar made GTA 5 similar to real Los Angeles County, but in the game, they only included the city of Los Santos and changed the northern part to be called Blaine County. Counties are used to divide different areas. So, Vice Dale County will probably only include Vice City and maybe a little bit of its surrounding areas.
- Figuring out the other two counties, Leonard County and Kelly County, will take more effort and time. When you look at the Florida map, Miami-Dade County is in the southeast. It is next to Monroe County to the south and Collier County to the north.
- Broward County is next to Miami-Dade, and cities like Fort Lauderdale are part of the Miami metropolitan area. They are very similar to Vice City, so they might not be included. We think GTA 6 will have made-up versions of Monroe County and Collier County, as well as Vice Dale.
Speculated Locations Of GTA VI Map
We can see Kelly County mentioned in two places in the trailer. First, when a girl is waving her arms while driving through Vice City in a convertible, and another in the General Custard Cannon social media clip, which seems to be right outside the city. Road signs in Vice City, in the south east, would point to the south west first, before giving directions to the north west. This shows that Kelly County is the area that looks like the Everglades.
The GTA vi map will probably have Vice Dale County and Vice City in the southeast, Kelly County in the southwest, and some small towns and a prison in northwestern Leonard County. Together they create Leonida, which is Rockstar’s made-up version of Florida.
Official Release Updates Of The Game
The tweet from Rockstar Games was published on February 4, 2022, and it simply said, ‘There is a new Grand Theft Auto.’ It doesn’t say The Last example is even more clear, the announcement simply states that GTA 6 is in development, but it doesn’t say when the game will be released.
We think about what Rockstar did before when we decide what to expect from their new releases. It did the same with both GTA V and RDR2, which was released a year earlier. This was also seen in both the GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 games. Nobody knows the exact date for releasing GTA 6 but it can be released in Fall 2025; as the time approaches we might learn something new.
What Characters Do We Expect?
GTA VI will have two main characters who are criminals. Their names are Lucia and an unknown man who seem to be inspired by the real-life criminals Bonnie and Clyde from the Great Depression era. There are rumors and leaks that say this man’s name is Jason, but Rockstar hasn’t confirmed anything yet.
So, we should be cautious about believing it for now. Like GTA V, early video clips show that you will use the d-pad to switch between characters in the game. Lucia is not the first woman you can play as in the series, but she is the first female main character in a GTA game. You can see Lucia’s partner in the picture for the game.
Conclusion
Rockstar has not said anything about adding more things to the next Grand Theft Auto game. But many people have been talking about and guessing about the topic. For example, on the GTA fan page, a well-known person who shares secrets about Grand Theft Auto, Tez2, says Rockstar will release new story content for the next GTA vi maps in parts over time, instead of all at once like they did with GTA IV and RDR.
