Gameplay and Storyline

Players can expect a dynamic storyline filled with tension, survival, and loyalty, taking place across varied environments ranging from neon-lit cities to the more rural outskirts.

Characters
Alongside Jason and Lucia, Rockstar has confirmed several supporting characters that will enrich the story world. These include Boobie Ike, Brian Heder, Cal Hampton, Dre’Quan Priest, Raul Bautista, and Real Dimez. Each character is expected to play a key role in the unfolding plot.

Map and Setting
The action takes place in Leonida, a new state that includes the reimagined Vice City and surrounding areas. Rockstar promises this to be the most expansive and immersive map in the Grand Theft Auto series to date, offering players new levels of interactivity and exploration.
