Game Informer's GTA 6 coverage reveal has shed new light on Rockstar's upcoming game, and we've rounded up all the big new information.
In the story, Rockstar shared new details about GTA 6's ambitious weather systems, the wildlife and NPCs that populate the world, and the scope of GTA 6's map.
Rockstar has managed to pull off one of the most speculated parts of GTA 6: hurricanes. Fans were hoping to see Florida's most significant weather event replicated in GTA 6, but given how intense hurricanes are, many wondered if it was even technically feasible. Speaking to Game Informer, Rockstar confirmed they will be featured in the game, but declined to share how often they will happen and if they will impact the story.
As for how they will be depicted, fans can expect “heavy clouds, strong winds, dense atmospherics, and a lot of rain combine so that everything is dripping wet, water is gushing off roof edges and lampposts, thunder rumbles and flashes of lightning light up the clouds dramatically.”
Rockstar's VP of art for lighting and rendering, Owen Shepherd, confirmed that the studio re-engineered its weather system to allow for localized, persistent, and dynamic weather. The player can soak up sunny rays in one part of the map, but still be able to see a rainstorm in the distance. The game will also feature rainbows and puddles, allowing the player to travel through an area and deduce that it recently rained there without having been present for it. Additionally, wind will create ripples in the water, blow hair around, and push debris across the world.
Rockstar North co-studio head Aaron Garbut confirmed that GTA 6's map is twice as big as GTA 5's, with an emphasis on density. The setting of the game, as many know, is a fictionalized version of Florida known as Leonida.
"This new world is different," Garbut said. "We obsessed about every part – the rooftops, the alleys, the internals and everything in between to the point we hit a critical mass with the numbers of our interiors, and you start to feel the buildings are more real inside and out. This world is a cohesive whole with the density of content and a hand-crafted quality to every bit."
GTA 6's map will feature six different regions. The most prominent one is Vice City, a location fans are familiar with thanks to 2002's GTA: Vice City. The other regions of Leonida include Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park.
