Game Informer GTA 6 Issue Reveals Leonidaās Biggest Secrets
The centerpiece of the issue is a 14-page feature examining how Rockstar Games recreated Leonida from both ecological and cultural perspectives. According to Game Informer, the story includes new developer interviews with Rockstar Games and 12 exclusive screenshots captured from Grand Theft Auto VI.
The feature explores the scope of Rockstarās fictional state, including its varied environments, regional identity, wildlife, weather, and social atmosphere.
