Leonida Keys
The Leonida Keys are a tropical archipelago south of Vice City, pitched by Rockstar as easy, unflashy living on the doorstep of "some of the most beautiful and dangerous waters in all of America". It is also Jason's stomping ground: Rockstar's bio places his drug-running work here, and Brian Heder's smuggling boat yard operates out of the same corridor. GamesRadar+ picks out the dive bars and the rich underwater world, and Polygon's Extended Look breakdown catalogues the sea life Rockstar showed — dolphins, turtles, eels and sharks among them.

Stills from the official trailers
Frames captured from Rockstar's own trailers, each labelled with the video and the timestamp it was taken at so you can go and check it. A still is weaker evidence than a press photograph — it is a moment paused mid-shot, not an image Rockstar chose to publish.
