It is stated that creatures can be tracked through categories such as rare, discoverable, and legendary; and that some species will feature details like bioluminescence, translucency, and getting dirty or wet depending on environmental conditions.

The list of activities is also quite extensive. Base jumping, billiards, gyms, canoeing, mini-golf, scuba diving, street and off-road racing, zoos, and the use of airboats and jet skis are among the activities expected to be in the game.

CHARACTERS, HEISTS, AND STORY CHOICES

It is stated that NPCs will feature elements such as different heights, muscle structures, body fat distribution, and skin details. It is also reported that cultural diversity will be more visible in tattoos, hairstyles, and clothing options.

In terms of heist structure, it is stated that players can act alone or as a pair, and can choose between a quiet or loud approach. It is also among the details provided that heists performed together will strengthen the bond between Jason and Lucia, and that special missions can be unlocked based on the money the player has.

On the story side, it is stated that small and large decisions can affect the course and ending of the game. This structure is highlighted as one of the elements that will increase the game's replayability.
