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 organized 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.”
Standard, limited deluxe and limited collector’s editions of
Mafia III are now available. The Mafia III Deluxe
Edition ($79.99 MSRP) is available digitally and physically in
a limited capacity from select retailers, and includes both the
game and access to additional, post-release downloadable content,
including the Season Pass at additional savings. The limited
Mafia III Collector’s Edition ($149.99 MSRP) is packed with
physical and digital items, providing a window into the sights and
sounds of 1968 New Bordeaux, including all content found in the
Mafia III Deluxe Edition plus the official soundtrack and
original game score on 180 gram vinyl, a collectable art book, art
prints, and more. For complete details on the limited Mafia III
Collector’s Edition, visit:

2K and Hanger 13 are also working on unique post-release content
for Mafia III. This includes both free, recurring content
for all players, as well as three story expansions that will be
available for purchase individually or as part of the Mafia III
Season Pass ($29.99 MSRP), which can be purchased on its
own or through the Mafia III Deluxe Edition or Mafia III
Collector’s Edition at additional savings.
Also available today is Mafia III Rivals, the mobile
battle RPG for iOS and Android devices from 2K and Cat Daddy Games.

perspective – and a completely different way to fight your way to
the top of the criminal underworld with characters, locations and
events based on Hangar 13’s Mafia III. Assemble your crime
syndicate by seizing property, collecting loot (including weapons
