What Rockstar says about Grassrivers
The untamable jewel of Leonida’s crown. You never know what lies beneath the surface of this primordial expanse. The gators may be the most famous attraction, but there are far deadlier predators and weirder discoveries among the mangroves.
Official Rockstar’s “Only in Leonida” destination copy.
- Official Trailers show airboats, wildlife and a helicopter over the wetlands.
- Official Official spelling is one word: Grassrivers.
What others report
- Reported Game Informer (29 Sep 2026 cover story) reports 170 animal species across Leonida, with alligators among the named animals.
- Reported A “POACH” wildlife-enforcement unit appears on screen in Trailer 1; the name comes from wiki captions of the footage.
- Reported Game Informer’s reading that “deadlier predators” means heavily armed residents is the magazine’s guess, not Rockstar copy.
Real-world inspiration
Press and fans read Grassrivers as Rockstar’s take on the Everglades. That comparison is ours and the press’s, not a Rockstar statement.
