CITY INTELPRE-LAUNCH / SUBJECT TO CHANGE
01Dense streets, vertical routes, transit links and high-frequency incidents make this the city-navigation benchmark.
02Beaches, parks and social spaces shift the route from mission efficiency toward events, observation and city-life activities.
03Swinging and free 3C movement turn rooftops into a second street grid. Route planning must include height, anchors and landing safety.

Official briefings and the TGS demonstration describe small social verbs, spontaneous incidents and profession-specific actions. Together they form the day-to-day layer beneath the main story.
Pet cats and trigger small everyday events while moving through public spaces.
OFFICIAL BRIEFINGGang clashes and spontaneous trouble turn ordinary routes into response decisions.
OFFICIAL BRIEFINGOfficial material explicitly mentions snooping on passersby phones as part of city interaction.
OFFICIAL BRIEFINGAttention, posts and internet popularity are framed as mission progress—not a decorative feed.
OFFICIAL BRIEFINGTGS hands-on footage showed database scans, weapon frisks, citations and handcuff interactions.
TGS PLAYTEST OBSERVATIONDevelopers say switched-out characters continue their own routines, letting you resume where their life moved next.
OFFICIAL BRIEFINGDirect answers, with the evidence level stated rather than implied.
No official area figure has been published. The developers describe the current build as one still-incomplete city that will expand over time, with possible future maps drawn from other Asian locations. Any square-kilometre number circulating now has no official source.
Yes. Official material shows swinging and climbing as a full second route layer, so rooftops work as an alternative street grid. Whether that beats a taxi depends on anchor access, height gain and landing safety on the specific route — not on movement speed alone.
No official district count exists. This site tracks three route layers visible in published material — Central Business, Coast & Leisure and the Rooftop Network — because they are what actually changes your routing decision. They are navigation groupings, not a claimed in-game district list.
