Neon boulevards, wetlands, small towns and island chains — the state of Leonida is far more than a single city.

Vice City, rebuilt

Vice City returns as a modern metropolis: beachfront high-rises, art-deco strips, commercial docks and neighbourhoods that shift character block by block. Trailers show street-level density the series has never had before, with crowds, traffic and interiors that stay active around you.

The wider state of Leonida

Outside the city, Leonida stretches into wetlands, farmland, highway towns and an island chain. The variety is the point — the drive between two missions passes through several completely different regions.

Two protagonists, one map

Lucia and Jason move through the same world from different angles, which means locations carry different meaning depending on who you are playing. Expect the map to be structured around that dual perspective rather than a simple north-to-south progression.

What this means for exploration

A larger map with higher detail density rewards slow play: side activities, businesses, radio stations and random encounters are spread across regions rather than concentrated in the city centre.
