Regional Overview

Grassrivers is Rockstar Games' official name (revealed on rockstargames.com/vi) for the vast subtropical wetland biome spanning south-central and western Leonida—a direct counterpart to the real-world Florida Everglades ("River of Grass").

Ecosystem & Traversal

  • ◆Airboat Waterways: Shallow sawgrass prairies and tangled red mangrove tunnels require flat-bottomed fan airboats to navigate effectively.
  • ◆Dense Wildlife: Trailer 1 highlights flocks of American flamingos wading through shallow marshes alongside massive American alligators—which also wander into suburban swimming pools and rural gas stations.
  • ◆Rural Outposts: Elevated stilt shacks, swamp docks, and dirt roads border the perimeter of the wetlands.
