While the more believable idea that Miami, Rio De Janeiro, and Cuba could be included, the concept that entire countries of North and South America would be in the game is likely not in the stars. There was also a brief rumor circulating that the city of London might be included, though there has been no evidence of that location since the rumor started.

There may even still be opportunities to visit other locales outside the main city, like islands in the Caribbean, though that has not been confirmed as of writing.
