Leonida
Rockstar's Florida-inspired state: cities, rural areas, swamps, the Keys and more.
Overview
Vice City
Vice City is Leonida's biggest city and the franchise's return to its 1986-era home, now set in the present day. Beaches, art-deco strips, nightclubs, marinas and a large downtown make up Rockstar's take on modern Miami.
- Present-day setting (not a period piece like Vice City 2002)
- Beachfront nightlife and art-deco architecture
- Home to Boobie Ike's businesses and the Only Raw Records scene
- Satirical, social-media-driven culture
