18 days to GTA 6: Rockstar says the map is about three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2's
Eighteen days out, one confirmed fact a day. Today: how big Leonida is. Rockstar has not published a number, but its own comparison is about three times Red Dead Redemption 2's map, with six confirmed regions.
Eighteen days. From today until November 19 we are running one short piece a day, each built on one thing Rockstar has actually confirmed. No leaks, no rumours, and anything that is our opinion is labelled as such.
We start with the size of the place.
Confirmed
Rockstar has not published a square-mile figure for Leonida. What it has given is a comparison: around the Extended Look in August, it said the map is about three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2's. That is the only size claim that comes from Rockstar itself.
Six regions are confirmed from trailers and official screenshots: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park.
Reported
Edge, which watched about 90 minutes of play at Rockstar North, puts it at roughly twice GTA V. Fan estimates built from trailer footage land between one and a half and two times GTA V. Neither is official.
Our guess
Raw size matters less than what fills it. GTA V's map felt big because the countryside was empty. Leonida's six regions are each built around a different kind of trouble, from smuggling in the Keys to bikers in Ambrosia, and that is the part worth watching for on the 19th.
The map page has every confirmed location, and Leonida explained has the long version. Tomorrow: switching between Jason and Lucia.
