Mafia III isn't just an open-world adventure packed with criminal activity. During a recent hands-on session of the title and a sit-down talk with developers from studio Hangar 13, it's clear the team also treats it like a period piece. Set in 1968 the southern city of New Bordeaux--Hangar 13's fictional take on New Orleans--players see its criminal underbelly through the eyes of Lincoln, a mixed-race veteran of the Vietnam War who returns to find his people, the black mob, brought low. You, as Lincoln, are tasked with building up a ring of associates, infiltrate and destroy rival mobs' rackets and restore balance--at your discretion--to your city.
