Mafia 3 Coming to PS4, Xbox One & PC in 2016, First Trailer Revealed

Developed by Hangar 13, Mafia 3 is coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in 2016, publisher 2K announced today.

Set in a re-imagined New Orleans in 1968, this version of the city is filled with activity, era-inspired cars, fashion, and music. During this particularly rough time in American history, corruption and organized crime are everywhere, and the Italian mob controls illegal gambling, drugs, and prostitution.

The description adds:

Mafia III follows the story of Lincoln Clay, a disenfranchised Vietnam veteran, returning from combat and looking for a home and a place to belong. Orphaned as a child, Lincoln at last achieves a semblance of family with the city’s black mob, finding the surrogate father and brother he has longed for. But when Lincoln’s new family is betrayed and slaughtered by the Italian mob, he becomes fixated on revenge and wages a brutal war against the Italians, disrupting the balance of power in the seedy underworld of New Orleans. As the story progresses, Lincoln allies himself with other criminals and builds an empire and a new family of his own that transforms the city.

Throughout the riveting story of Mafia III, players choose their path to revenge and build their own crime empire using cunning, stalking and deception, or through overwhelming force and firepower. Mafia III combines the best of cinematic storytelling with a dynamic narrative structure that responds to player choices, set in a vibrant city that responds to Lincoln’s actions.

2K President Christoph Hartmann adds, “Mafia III continues the strong franchise tradition of a captivating story set in the treacherous and calculated world of organized crime. Mafia III captures Hangar 13’s mantra of ‘every player story is unique’ through a cinematic narrative that responds to player choice.”
