After several years of speculation, Rockstar Games has finally confirmed thatGrand Theft Auto 6will take players back to Vice City. Unlike previous installments that take place in the iconic location though, the game will explore a much larger area than just the Miami-inspired city, extending out intothe fictional state of Leonida, which draws much of its inspiration from the US state of Florida.
As series fans will know all too well, Vice City isn’t the only franchise setting that’s based on a real-world location. Far from it, in fact.Liberty City is based on New York, while San Andreas incorporates elements from both California and Nevada. All three of these locations have appeared multiple times throughout the series, leading many people to wonder where all theGTAgames take place.
