Grand Theft Auto VI, the upcoming title from Rockstar Games, is set to introduce a more advanced weather system in its fictional state of Leonida. According to Owen Shepherd, Rockstar’s Vice President of Art for Lighting and Rendering, the game will feature tropical storms and hurricanes similar to those found in Florida. These simulated weather events will include heavy clouds, strong winds, dense atmospherics, and abundant rainfall that make everything wet, with water cascading off rooftops and lampposts. The thunder will rumble, and lightning will illuminate the clouds dramatically.
What sets this weather system apart is its heightened realism and realism. It will be "much more localized and persistent," with "fully dynamic cloudscapes that roll across the map." This means that players exploring the expansive and twice-sized map of GTA V could potentially experience sudden downpours following periods of clear skies, adding a layer of unpredictability to the gameplay. Whether this level of realistic weather will be considered an improvement or an inconvenience is left to the players to decide.
