Welcome to Leonida

The opening mission that introduces players to the state of Leonida and sets the stage for Jason and Lucia's story.

Every story has a beginning, and in Leonida, beginnings tend to be messy. 'Welcome to Leonida' drops players into the sun-scorched sprawl of America's most dysfunctional state as Jason and Lucia arrive with little more than a shared criminal record and a vague plan to start over. The mission serves as both narrative setup and gameplay tutorial, guiding players through the basics of driving, navigation, and interaction as they make their way from the outskirts into Vice City proper. Along the way, radio chatter and roadside billboards paint a picture of a state teetering between glamour and decay — strip malls next to mansions, gators in the drainage ditches, and a population that seems to be running from something or toward something equally dangerous. By the time you pull into the driveway of your modest Vice Dale safehouse, you'll have a feel for the roads, a sense of the world, and the unmistakable suspicion that 'starting over' was never really on the table.
