News Mafia Social Media Continues to Tease Amid New Game, Remaster Rumours
Strictly business
Update: Some had suggested that yesterday's Twitter post from the official Mafia account was connected to Mother's day. However, a new message suggests that some kind of promotional campaign is underway. A new message maintains the one word theme: "Power." Seems like something is happening, presumably this week. Original...
News Hangar 13's Next Mafia Game Is Likely to Be Revealed in the Coming Months
Fourth time's a charm
It feels like we've known about developer Hangar 13's next Mafia entry being in development for years now. What started off as a strong set of rumours and speculation was given weight by a new set of trademarks hinting at another instalment would be on its way, but now it appears the studio is gearing up for a reveal in the...
News Multiple Mafia Trademarks Suggest a New Game Could Be in Development
Alongside a remaster of Mafia II
We haven't heard anything whatsoever from the Mafia franchise ever since its third entry came and went a few years back on PlayStation 4. Mafia III was a decent game, but it looks like developer Hanger 13 might be getting another attempt with a fourth game in the franchise if a series of recently registered...
News Mafia 3's Original Intro Was So Controversial It Had to Be Erased
New Bord-oh
Mafia III, for all its flaws, delves into some pretty dark subject matter. But developer Hangar 13 originally planned to open the title with an introduction so controversial that it’s since removed all traces of the scene from its servers. “If ever that had come out without any context in any form it would have looked terrible,”...
News Give Mafia III a Shot For Free with Its New PS4 Demo
Bite-sized revenge
Mafia III may not have set the open world genre alight as was intended, but by most accounts, it's not that bad overall. The game's obviously been out for a while now, but coinciding with the release of its first expansion, a playable demo has hit the PlayStation Store. If you've had your eye on Mafia III but the lukewarm...
News Mafia III's Story Expansions Start Dropping Next Month
Can't escape the life
If you're still into Mafia III, you may be interested in knowing that its promised trio of story expansions have been given release windows. Things kick off with the strangely named Faster, Baby!, which is due out at some point next month. Then, in May, we're getting Stones Unturned, followed by Sign of the Times in July...
News Mafia III Smuggles a Stealth PS4 Pro Patch
In and out
Its popularity may have fallen off a cliff a few days after it launched, but at least Mafia III is still being supported by developer Hanger 13. As pointed out by Digital Foundry, the sandbox crime sim has very quietly received a PS4 Pro update - there's apparently no mention whatsoever of Pro support in the patch notes, which seems a bit...
News Mafia III Is Somehow 2K Games' Fastest Selling Release
4.5 million copies shipped in one week
You know those occasions where a bit of news filters out and you almost have to read it twice in order to properly parse it? Yeah, this is one of those times: Mafia III has become 2K Games' fastest selling game of all time, outpacing franchises such as BioShock, NBA 2K, and Borderlands. To be honest, we're as...
Round Up Mafia III Takes a Bullet or Two in First Reviews
Fed to the alligators?
Mafia III's off to a bit of a rough start in the reviews department, it would seem. The sandbox mob-'em-up launched last week on PlayStation 4, but critic reviews are only just beginning to roll in due to the fact that publisher 2K Games didn't want to send pre-release review code to anyone that isn't a YouTuber. Some of the...
Video Should You Buy Mafia III for Your PS4?
Mob job
As is widely known already, 2K Games didn't send out advance review code for Mafia III, so we're only just digging into the New Bordeaux-based drama. But should you buy it? Well, we've streamed over an hour of gameplay footage so that you can get a feel for the crime caper – and you can watch the archived footage above. Are you planning...
News Mafia III Reviews Will Remain in the Bayou Beyond Launch
Gangster's nightmare
Mafia III releases on 7th October globally, but don't expect to find a review on Push Square – or any site worth your time for that matter. 2K Games informed us recently that code would go out on launch day, and Polygon has since confirmed that to be the case for other outlets around the world. In other words: you probably...
News Mafia III Takes Aim at Free DLC and Three Premium Expansions
Lock and load
It looks like developer Hangar 13 has reasonably big plans for Mafia III after it launches next month, promising free downloadable content packs along with three premium expansions. The free stuff is largely what you'd expect - costumes, weapons, and extra vehicle customisation - but the studio also makes mention of races, which could...
News New Mafia III Gameplay Trailer Takes Justice Into Its Own Hands
Safety's off
Mafia III lead Lincoln Clay doesn't mess around, does he? The star of the game's latest trailer, we see Clay take down a ton of criminals, from lowly drug dealers to mob bosses and more. Sure, his methods may not be subtle - they appear to be of the 'shoot first, ask questions later' variety - but hey, he gets the job done. Of course,...
News Mafia III's Stunning Sixties Soundtrack Could Be the Best of the Open World Bunch
Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, James Brown, and more
We love a good licensed soundtrack in our games. Sometimes, a fitting selection of tunes can really solidify the feel of a release - the inclusion of Stan Bush's The Touch in Saints Row IV was inspired, for example - and with Mafia III, we've been hoping and praying for a stellar sixties soundtrack...
Gamescom 2016 Mafia III Keeps on Truckin' with Heist Trailer
Carnival chaos
2K Games appears to be adopting the Ubisoft PR strategy for Mafia III: blanket the web with coverage and hope that people pay attention. This is the game's second trailer in almost as many days, but hey, we're probably the only ones keeping count. Fortunately, it continues to look fantastic – we love the cars, fashion, and time...
News Mafia III Is Looking Better and Better with Every Trailer
Mob bossing it
We've always been interested in Mafia III - we love the sound of premise and the look of setting - but it's this latest trailer that's officially pushed us into hype territory. The video gives us our best look at the game's open world yet, showcasing its different districts and what you can expect to find within them. Even if, at the...
News Mafia III's Main Character Is a Man on a Mission
Mob justice
From what we've seen of Mafia III so far, we're reasonably excited for the upcoming open world mob-'em-up, and while we have some reservations when it comes to the sequel's rather standard looking gameplay, we reckon that the setting and characters seem pretty interesting. Speaking of which, protagonist and Vietnam veteran Lincoln Clay...
E3 2016 Mafia III Looks and Sounds the Part on PS4
The biz
We feel a little bit sorry for Mafia III. While competing titles are popping up in publisher or platform holder press conferences, Lincoln Clay and his cronies have been left to fend for themselves – earning only a spot during IGN's live coverage. Still, this 22 minute gameplay demo which debuted last night is surprisingly strong – it...

Mafia III's on a mission to bring down the mob later this year on PlayStation 4, and to celebrate this no doubt brutal and bloody fact, the open world title's got a brand new gameplay trailer. Much like the previous CG reveal, the embedded clip combines fitting music, plenty of atmosphere, and some good old fashioned...
Gamescom 2015 Mafia III PS4 Won't Shy Away from Strong Narrative
But there will be more to do
Mafia II was an open world game, but even in 2010 – before the likes of Grand Theft Auto V and The Witcher III: Wild Hunt – it was criticised for being sparse. The title's interpretation of the United States served as sublime window dressing to Vito Scaletta's story, but with so little to do in it, there were times...
Gamescom 2015 Here's Your First Look at Mafia III Gameplay on PS4
All along the watchtower

2K Games is aiming to pin a new face on organised crime in 2016, as Mafia III muscles its way onto the PlayStation 4 with an all-new protagonist: Lincoln Clay. Set in 1968, the mixed race mob leader will front a yarn all about inequality, as New Orleans serves as the backdrop for a story that both sounds ambitious and...

There must be a few mobsters over at Take Two with plenty of secrets in the trunk of their car right now, because the evidence of a new Mafia game continues to pile up. Back in May, the publisher confirmed that it's got a AAA-title in the works, and before that, voice actor Rick Pasqualone - who played the main character in...

Writing on the social media site, he told a...
