THE MAP

Leonida, Region by Region

Leonida is Rockstar's modern Florida: a full state rather than one city and its outskirts. Six areas have been named. This page collects what has actually been shown of each — the geography, the character of the place, and the one or two concrete things attached to it. Everything past that is unknown, and is marked as such rather than filled in with guesses.

The city and the islands

🌃 Vice City
Rockstar's Miami, and the city Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was named after in 2002 — rebuilt for the present day rather than the 1980s of the original.
🏝️ Leonida Keys
A tropical island chain modelled on the Florida Keys. It is where Jason works for local drug runners, and where Brian Heder, who lets him live rent-free in one of his properties, runs his boat yard.

Swamp, forgotten coast and sugar country

🐊 Grassrivers
Leonida's wetlands, modelled on the Everglades: gators, mangroves and, by Rockstar's account, deadlier things under the surface. Rockstar's own screenshots put airboats here, and air boating is among the activities the previews list.
⚓ Port Gellhorn
What Rockstar calls Leonida's forgotten coast: a once-popular vacation spot of cheap motels, shut-down attractions and empty strip malls, now running on malt liquor, painkillers and truck-stop energy drinks.
🏭 Ambrosia
The heart of Leonida, in Rockstar's description: a company town where the Allied Crystal sugar refinery provides the jobs and the local biker gang provides almost everything else.

North: the wilderness

🏞️ Mount Kalaga National Park
A national landmark against the state's northern border, with hunting, fishing and off-road trails, and backwoods where, in Rockstar's words, hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals live far from the government. It is the furthest thing from a city on this map, and the closest this game has to the empty country Rockstar built for Red Dead Redemption 2.

What isn't known about the map

  • Its exact size. Rockstar has only compared it with its own maps — about twice GTA V's and three times the playable area of Red Dead Redemption 2 — and has given no figure in square kilometres.
  • The full labelled map. Rockstar has not published one; the Goodtime State – Vice City Collection box includes a souvenir poster map of Leonida, but it ships on 19 November, with the game.
  • Whether these six are all of it. They are the areas that have been named; nothing says there are no others.
  • What is in each one. Rockstar has named a handful of businesses, several of them Ultimate Edition extras, and the previews list activities from air boating to golf, but nobody has said region by region where things are, or where the safehouses and collectibles sit.
  • How the regions connect, and how long it takes to cross between them.

How this page will change

On release this becomes a real map guide: each region with what is in it, where things are, and a tracker you can tick off. Until someone here has played it, adding any of that would mean copying a wiki or guessing from a trailer, and both are worse than an honest gap.
