Lots of rich people can be found here, alongside their nice cars and the resident gangs - the Yakuza, Yardies and Colombian Cartel. This is the business area of Liberty City. A delightful district with something for everyone. A bloody turf war has been underway for several months. But this is being challenged by the Triads. Crime is rife in Portland and it has a long history of Mafia control. The area is populated with hookers, pimps, labourers, dockworkers, politicians and general scum. Here you will find the docks, the Red Light District, warehouses, factories, markets, garages as well as some useful suppliers. This is the poor, industrial part of Liberty City, you'll see mostly workmen in old cars, the Mafia, Triads and Diablos around here. Liberty City is based on New York so the three islands are comparatively similar to Brooklyn, Manhattan and New Jersey respectively. It consists of three islands - Portland, Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale. There are different districts in Liberty City. Apparently, we’ll still be visiting Vice City, but 40 years after Tommy Vercetti first began his reign of terror.GTA III Liberty City Welcome To Liberty City. That said, footage from the recent leaks – as well as previous rumours – has suggested that GTA: 6 is now going for a more modern setting. For the first time, a GTA game could find its most shocking inspirations in real life. Throw in South America as a rumoured location, and you have some great material there in the form of real life Cold War proxy wars, shady CIA activities, and the War on Drugs. Early rumours suggested the new game would reach back into the 1970s, with the game set across multiple decades. And when it comes to classic mob movies – especially ones set in Miami – there isn’t really anything left to be inspired by. The problem is that GTA games are often based on movies, be that Scarface here, or Goodfellas in GTA: Liberty City. There’s still a lot of scope to riff on the ‘80s. As per the original GTA: Vice City (set in 1986) cocaine was everywhere. Margaret Thatcher cut off kid’s milk, sold off industries and gave bankers a boost. Arnie and Sly Stallone built new models of muscular masculinity. The 1980s was one of the most… interesting decades in recent memory.

So, by all means let’s go to South America, but also, let’s celebrate Vice City and dig into that locale properly, too. The original Vice City, spread over three islands, offered a range of locations, but wasn’t overly big, allowing a feeling of intimately knowing every street and emergency escape route. Rumours have persisted for a while now that GTA: 6 might actually dip into multiple locations, and even multiple countries with one rumour suggesting parts of the game will take part in South America. Which means alligators, hovercrafts and shotgun-toting moonshiners.


And, if fictional Florida is going to be our home base, Rockstar are almost certain to expand the map to include Everglades-like swamp land similar to what we’ve seen in GTA: 5. proxies of almost every game since, a return to the pastel shades, sun-bleached alleys and crummy motels of Vice City will be a welcome shake-up. Which is refreshing for all kinds of reasons. But, as mentioned above, leaks strongly suggest Vice City will play a role. Rockstar Games ain’t saying nuffin’ about where the next outing will be set.
