12 new gameplay images shared for GTA 6 reveal the Leonida map, over 170 animal types, and new side activities.
Exciting new details continue to emerge from GTA 6, one of the most anticipated productions in the gaming world. Twelve new official screenshots and gameplay details reveal the massive open world that Rockstar Games has built in Vice City and the surrounding state of Leonida. The new images clearly show many critical innovations for the first time, from dynamic weather conditions and detailed wildlife to character animations and new side activities.
Leonida World Detailed: Visual Quality and New Mechanics
The newly released visuals clearly demonstrate the technical level reached by the game engine. Leonida state, which is approximately twice the size of GTA 5’s map, is divided into six different regions. From skyscrapers in the city center to swampy areas, from coastlines to rural towns, the lighting and texture quality in this landscape is remarkable.
Along with the new visuals, the dynamic weather conditions that will be included in the game are also confirmed. Regional, instantaneous natural events such as tropical storms and hurricanes directly affect both the driving physics and the characters’ interaction with their surroundings.
Wildlife and Living Ecosystem
Rockstar Games takes the ecosystem depth achieved with Red Dead Redemption 2 even further in GTA 6. Here are some of the standout technical aspects regarding the diversity of life and AI behavior in the game:

Rich Side Activities and Character Interaction
New visuals show that our main characters, Lucia and Jason, will not be limited to robberies and shootouts, but will also actively participate in the social life of Vice City. The visuals highlight numerous social activities such as kayaking, scuba diving, playing small golf games, billiards, and visiting the zoo and aquarium.
The sunburns in the character models, the details of the tattoos, and the micro-animations in the hair and body physics prove that the hardware power of the new generation consoles has been pushed to its limits. It was also shared that the story flow in the game can branch out into different paths even with small choices made by the player, offering high replayability.
