What happened
According to a recent Game Informer cover story on GTA 6, Rockstar Games has indicated that its fictionalized version of Florida, known as Leonida, may not include every iconic staple of the state. Specifically, the company has suggested that key attractions like Disney World and SeaWorld might not be featured in the game. This decision is reportedly due to the need to be selective about what to include for the sake of narrative and game design. Rockstar's senior vice president of environment art, Paul MacPherson, explained that the goal is to replicate the true Florida experience, but this requires careful evaluation of various elements to determine what best serves the game's needs.
