Bloomberg / Jason Schreier reporting
Mostly held up2022 onward · Source: Jason Schreier, Bloomberg · journalist
Ahead of any trailer, Bloomberg reported a Latina lead, a modern setting based on Florida, a smaller launch map that grows over time, and a more careful development culture after Red Dead 2 crunch.
🧠 Mahnis’s verdict
The gold standard. Schreier had the female lead, the Florida setting and the “start smaller, expand” approach years before the trailers, and the trailers backed him up. When he reports something, it’s usually the closest thing to official you’ll get.
What it claimed — and how it aged
✅Female Latina protagonist — held up
✅Modern-day Florida-based setting — held up
⏳Map expands post-launch with updates — still open
About this source
Jason SchreierThe one whose scoops become facts. Had the female lead, the Florida setting and the “start smaller, grow the map” plan years early. If Schreier reports it, it’s about as official as unofficial gets.
