Mafia III Now Available

From 2K and Hangar 13
2K and Hangar 13 today announced that Mafia III, the thrilling organised crime drama set in the immersive open world of 1968 New Bordeaux, is now available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC.

Mafia III continues 2K’s pedigree of outstanding narratives told through rich characters in immersive settings with the city of 1968 New Bordeaux – a reimagined version of New Orleans – bustling with activity and complete with era-inspired cars, fashion and an eclectic mix of music, including more than 100 licensed tracks from one of the most memorable eras in history. During this turbulent time, a cloud of corruption hangs in the air and the city has become a haven for organised crime. The Italian mob controls illegal gambling, drugs, and prostitution, while corrupt police and politicians line their pockets with the proceeds.

“Creating epic and lasting narrative experiences is one of our core pillars, and the teams at Hangar 13 and 2K worked with tireless passion to continue that legacy with Mafia III,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “Hanger 13’s impressive debut effort takes the Mafia franchise in an exciting new direction by combining the cinematic storytelling the series is known for with a true open world for the first time.”

Mafia III follows the story of Lincoln Clay, a disenfranchised Vietnam veteran returning from combat and looking for a sense of belonging. Orphaned as a child, Lincoln at last achieves a semblance of family with the city’s black mob. But when Lincoln’s new family is betrayed and slaughtered by Sal Marcano and the city’s Italian mob, he becomes fixated on revenge. He wages a brutal war against the Marcano family, disrupting the balance of power in the seedy underworld of New Bordeaux. As his story unfolds, Lincoln allies himself with other criminals and builds an empire and a new family of his own.

“Building the open world of New Bordeaux and crafting this hard-boiled crime drama set in the American South during the late 1960’s has been an amazing journey for all of us,” said Haden Blackman, studio head and creative director at Hangar 13. “This is our first game as a studio, and we’re humbled by the community’s anticipation for Mafia III’s release. We couldn’t think of a better game to showcase the kinds of stories we want to tell and player-driven experiences we want to create.”

The Mafia III Deluxe Edition (£69.99 MSRP) is also available digitally and includes both the game and access to additional, post-release downloadable content, including the Season Pass at additional savings.
