ROUTES GUIDE
Locations and Route Planning Guide
A visual route-planning guide for Slovakia, Kensington, and future locations as IO Interactive reveals more of the campaign.
Key takeaways
- Slovakia centers on the Grand Carpathian Hotel and a chess-tournament field assignment.
- Kensington centers on a museum gala with social blending potential.
- Each mission guide should separate entry, objective, escalation, and exit routes.
Slovakia: map the hotel like a hub
The official location description points to a Grand Carpathian Hotel field assignment surrounded by mountains, lakes, forests, and high-end architecture. That suggests a mission guide should organize routes by exterior approach, public interior, restricted areas, and vertical movement.
- Use visible landmarks to name routes before exact map labels are known.
- Track how public spaces become restricted spaces.
- Separate exploration notes from objective-critical paths.
Future-proof the page structure
Every new location page should use the same template: mission purpose, public area, restricted area, route table, gadget opportunities, combat escalation, collectibles, and source status.
