Game Informer’s Next Cover Is GTA VI: 14 Pages, 12 New Screenshots, Digital on September 29
Issue 382 carries a 14-page cover story built on interviews with “several lead designers at Rockstar Games”, focused on how Leonida and Vice City were made.
Confirmed — Game Informer announced it itself in a cover reveal by Marcus Stewart on September 25. Issue 382 has a 14-page cover story with “exclusive interview quotes and details of all things Vice City and Leonida” and 12 new, exclusive screenshots. Stewart says he “spoke with several lead designers at Rockstar Games.”
When you can read it: the digital issue is out on September 29; print copies reach subscribers and newsstands “in the coming weeks.”
What it covers, per the reveal: how Rockstar brought Leonida to life, including systems to “simulate Florida’s less sunny weather phenomena” and a “staggering amount of wildlife – native and otherwise – roaming Leonida on land, air, and sea.” The cover art shows Jason and Lucia.
The limit of this story: this is the announcement, not the article. Until the issue is out we only know the topics, not the details. We will write up what the designers actually say once it can be read, and label each claim on its own.
Updated September 29, 2026: the issue is out. What Rockstar told Game Informer: storms, hurricanes and 170+ species and a map about twice GTA V’s.
