Vi måtte i begyndelsen af måneden desværre fortælle, at 2K Games’ (2K Czech) Mafia II alligevel ikke ville udkomme i juni måned som oprindeligt planlagt. Gutterne hos 2K Games vurderede at spillet stadig manglede lidt afpudsning, før det kunne slippes løs med god samvittighed. 2K Games er dog i dag kommet med en ny udgivelsesdato gældende for Storbritanien og formodentlig også resten af Europa. Du skal nu sætte kryds i kalenderen den 27. august, da spillet vil være at finde i butikkerne netop den dag. Vi har inkluderet fire af de seneste screenshots i nedenstående uddrag af pressemeddelelsen herunder. Vil du have endnu mere, er det bare at gå i krig med vores efterhånden mange Mafia II-relaterede screenshots & trailers.

Through a compelling narrative, Mafia II transports gamers into the dark and unforgiving world of the Mafia. The fiction is embellished by a sophisticated, era-evoking atmosphere that meticulously replicates the clothing, cars, music and advertising of 1940’s and 1950’s Americana. Players will easily become immersed in the game’s cinematic Hollywood-style experience with strong, believable characters in a living, breathing metropolis. By fusing high-octane gunplay with white-knuckle driving and an engaging narrative, Mafia II looks to be the industry’s most compelling Mafia title to date.

Born the son of a poor immigrant, Vito is a beaten-down Italian-American who is trying to escape the life of poverty that consumed his childhood. Vito, along with his lifelong friend, Joe, will descend into the world of organised crime. Looking to escape the life of hardship that his father led, Vito dreams about becoming a “made man,” and together with Joe, will work to prove themselves to the Mafia as they try to make their names on the streets. However, the two quickly realize that life as a wise guy isn’t quite as glamorous as it seems.

Additionally, Mafia II will be playable by the public for the first time at the Penny Arcade Expo East (PAX East) being held at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts from March 26 – March 28 at the 2K Games booth (booth #103).
