Novi nastavak legendarne Mafie već neko vrijeme se nalazi u razvojnom paklu. Prema posljednjim informacijama do kojih smo uspjeli doći, dosadašnji rad bivšeg 2K Czech studija je odbačen, i 2K San Francisco je krenuo raditi igru ispočetka. Originalno je rad na igri počeo tijekom 2012. godine, a prema jednoj glasini Mafia III je namijenjena vlasnicima PlayStation 4 i Xbox One konzola. S obzirom na to kako je prvi dio originalno bio PC naslov, a kasnije je portan na PS2 i Xbox, a nastavak je bio odmah od početka zamišljen kao multiplatformski naslov, izostanak PC-ja kao glavne platforme je pomalo začuđujuć.

Misterija u vezi igre iz dana u dan je sve veća i veća. Take 2 ništa službeno nije najavio, ali zahvaljujući AGB-u, otkriveno je mjesto radnje. Dio gameplaya Mafie III mogao bi se odvijati u Louisiani. Službeno se traže tri glumca za glas, stas i pokrete likova koji su rođeni u Louisiani.  Zanimljivo je što se pod imenom projekta navodi kako se radi o neimenovanoj videoigri. Službena najava mogla bi se dogoditi u sljedećih nekoliko mjeseci.

Kratku biografiju likova donosimo vam u cijelosti:

[FRANKLIN] Born in Louisiana, Mixed race – African American/Caucasian, Early 20s, 6′, Bouncer’s build – broad, not cut. An orphan in the racially segregated South who rises to criminal prominence after returning home to Louisiana from war. Having been an outsider to both white and black society, Franklin is fiercely loyal to those he considers “family.” He is both street-smart and strong. Disciplined and imposing, confident yet guarded, Franklin knows how to get a job done at any cost…

[TONY] Born in Louisiana, Italian, Early 30s, Thin, Immaculately dressed and groomed. A genius with numbers and statistics who runs sports betting operations in Louisiana. Tony is not your typical gangster. Meticulous and organized, Tony is more concerned about numbers and profit than people. On the surface, Tony appears quiet and socially awkward, but in reality he is more than capable of inflicting violence on anyone who disrupts his bottom line. Tony doesn’t fear people; he simply does not understand or like them.

[MICKEY] Born in Louisiana, Italian, Late Teens/Early 20s, Average build. A young street hustler who likes to run his mouth, Mickey likes to talk big on the streets, but when push comes to shove, he can’t back it up. Mickey has a bad habit of taking credit for bigger jobs and making himself seem higher up in the criminal ladder than he really is. When confronted with this, he reverts back to the scared teenager he really is.
