The briefing

The timeline follows claims from the 2018 Project Americas reports through later map rumors, the 2022 breach and subsequent promotional milestones. It evaluates older stories against what later announcements established, rather than treating every widely shared claim as equally reliable.

Project Americas mixed a lasting Miami association with broader travel claims that were never established by the initial rumor. Several circulated maps and screenshots were subsequently exposed as fabrications. The historical sequence explains why a dated report can be valuable while its original prediction is no longer current. Official trailers and announcements provide the fixed reference points.
