Grassrivers

Leonida's Everglades: sawgrass, gators and airboats

Grassrivers is the Everglades in all but name: sawgrass marsh stretching to the horizon, alligators in it, and airboats as the only sensible way across. Confirmed

Overview

Grassrivers appears in both trailers, first with the airboat in 2023 and then at length in 2025. Trailer 1's alligator in a backyard pool and the one wandering into a store are the Grassrivers leaking into town. The airboat is a vehicle class that exists because of this terrain.

What the screenshots show

An airboat deck with an alligator lying at the feet of two men, houses on stilts over the water, an airboat seen from above, an airboat chase beneath a helicopter with an alligator watching from the water, and open sawgrass. See Hunting and fishing for how wildlife fits in.
