Mafia 3 reveal set for Gamescom

Just when I thought I was out...

Publisher 2K will unveil Mafia 3 at Gamescom next month.

The reveal will appear on the Mafia YouTube channel at 1pm on 5th August 2015.

Mafia 3 is developed by Hangar 13, the California studio recently created by 2K. 2K Czech is also involved. We don't have much else to go on, save the image, below, which depicts four shadowy figures standing next to a swamp.

Mafia 3 was thought to have been in development for some time at 2K Czech, where the previous games were made. But troubles at the studio suggested 2K has rebooted development.

A casting call revealed in March 2014 suggested the open world crime game was set in Louisiana, and mentioned characters called Franklin, Tony and Mickey.

Not long now.
