Mafia III was developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K Games for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in October 2016. It was later released for macOS in May 2017, and for Google Stadia in October 2021. Set within the fictional city of New Bordeaux, based on New Orleans, in 1968, the game follows former criminal and Vietnam veteran Lincoln Clay, who is forced to return to a life of crime to help his adoptive family settle problems with the local branch of the Mafia. After the Mafia betray and murder his family, Lincoln embarks on a quest for revenge while slowly building a criminal empire and seizing power from other criminal organisations in the city.

If these games wanted you to know anything about them, it’s that they’re very very serious. They tell serious stories in serious ways and don’t have time any of those silly diversions that those other popular crime dramas have. They deal with topics like racism, so they can get away with liberally tossing out racial slurs without any repercussions. Glibness aside, the story in the first game’s remake is probably my favourite of the bunch, even if the voice acting is often suspect. The other stories are fine, Lincoln Clay’s dogged quest for revenge after returning home from the horrors of Vietnam is enthralling, and Vito Scaletta’s descent into the cynical nihilism of the 1940’s underground as he skirts responsibility for all his crimes and failings were all enjoyable, the former more so than the latter, but Tommy Angelo’s journey from cabbie to made man felt like a fuller story with some actual character development thrown into the mix. Not much, but some.

Q: If I own any of the Mafia Definitive Editions already, is there value in upgrading to the Mafia: Trilogy? Mafia II has generated some controversy following its release. Sonia Alfano, a member of the European Parliament and president of Italy's association for the families of Mafia victims and whose father was murdered by the Mafia, called for the game to be banned. [28] Take-Two Interactive responded to the issue, stating that the game's depiction of the American Mafia was no different from organized crime films such as The Godfather. They also responded to allegations of racism from Unico National, who claimed that the game portrayed Italian Americans unfairly and "indoctrinating" youth into violent stereotypes.
