    For Mafia 3, 2K Games and Hangar 13 are taking a somewhat different approach. Still a tale of family, albeit in a very different vein, it tells the tale of Lincoln Clay on the mean streets of a fictionalised New Orleans (name still pending) in 1968, a troubled time in American history.​
    As such, it's a rich setting and time period for weaving some incredible stories, as well as giving Mafia 3 a truly kick-ass 60s soundtrack, consisting of Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and an array of other classics. We got into the nitty-gritty with our first look preview, but we still had plenty of questions.​
    Fortunately, we got to quiz Mafia 3 Creative Director and Hangar 13 Studio Head Haden Blackman, talking about the game's time period, the presence of Mafia 2's Vito Scaletta, Lincoln's brutal, no-nonsense approach to conflict resolution, and being careful not to shy away from issues surrounding race.​
