Would you believe it if they said that Vice City from GTA 6 was inspired by Balneario Camboriu? Users have identified several “similarities” between the fictional city shown in the game’s first trailer and the municipality on the northern coast of Santa Catarina.

The teaser was released last Monday (4) and sent the internet into a frenzy as it was the first official announcement of a sequel to the famous Grand Theft Auto series ten years after the release of GTA 5. And, as expected, it also spawned several memes. .

The page “BC Mil Grau” did a real “fact check” and listed several places in Balneario Camboriu that “apparently” inspired Rockstar Games, the game’s producer, to create the new Vice City. In fact, the original city is Miami in the USA.

And it was not only Balneario Camboriu who was involved in comparisons. Warung in Itajai and Caixa d’Aso in Porto Belo have also become the butt of jokes. Rockstar could even describe the expansion of Central Praia’s sand strip.
