The comprehensive GTA 6 mapping initiative has intensified following Trailer 2's release, with a key contributor telling IGN: "This fundamentally alters our roadmap for the coming months."

The GTA 6 Mapping Discord community, nearing 400 active members, is now dissecting Trailer 2's wealth of geographical details with renewed enthusiasm.

"We're processing overwhelming amounts of new data - it completely resets our project timeline," explained Garza, the Discord administrator. "Our team faces months of fresh analysis ahead as we're just beginning to catalog these discoveries."

This mapping project originated following the September 2022 leaks (potentially humorously referenced in Trailer 2's opening sequence). Until Trailer 2's debut, volunteers relied solely on these leaks and December 2023's initial trailer for their cartographic reference.

The March 2025 map iteration by project leader DuPz0r has been rendered obsolete by Trailer 2's geographical revelations, paving the way for more precise mapping efforts.

Rockstar's latest showcase not only advanced narrative details and introduced characters through 70 screenshots, but also confirmed numerous explorable Leonida locations - GTA 6's Florida equivalent.

Verified locales include Vice City (Miami-inspired), the tropical Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and northern landmark Mount Kalaga.

Community mappers are now meticulously analyzing trailer footage to correlate fictional locales with real-world Florida geography. When completed, DuPz0r will publish an updated version - potentially offering the clearest preview yet of GTA 6's world ahead of its anticipated May 2026 launch.

Further Rockstar releases may necessitate additional revisions, with final accuracy confirmation only possible upon the game's release.

The project operates under potential Take-Two intervention scrutiny. March saw a GTA 5 mod implementing these maps halted by corporate action, raising concerns about the Discord group's future.

When previously questioned about Take-Two's stance, Garza acknowledged cautious optimism: "While we've operated undisturbed for years, we remain prepared for potential corporate communication. Since we avoid directly showcasing leaked content, I believe our focus on generating anticipation might explain our continued operation."
