We always like to bring new game news to our readers, so in the spirit of that thought: 2K Games recently announced that Mafia II will be available on August 27, 2010 in the UK for the PS3, as well as other platforms.
Mafia II is being worked in by 2K Czech, the same team behind the award-winning Mafia, which garnered lots of positive press for its unique gameplay, so there shouldn’t be much falloff from the original game.
More about the game from their press junkets:
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.
We really are looking forward to this title, and it’ll be something PS3 owners should have a spot in their library reserved for it.
2K Games has released their plans for a BioShock follow-up for PS3 that sounds awfully cool. Here’s a snippet from their press release:
