A demo for upcoming gangster fest Mafia II will be available from 10th August, an advert in videogame trade magazine MCV has revealed.
The demo will be available on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. We're trying to find out what'll be in it.
The game's out 17 days later, on the 27th.
Mafia II is an open-world action-adventure with a difference - it's more of a period drama with a Grand Theft Auto-esque structure than a sandbox.

Eurogamer went hands-on earlier this week, and survived to tell the tale. Full review is due soon.
