In addition to anticipate revalation, Eurogamer reported that 2K Games will most likely present "Mafia 3" trailer and gameplay during the big gaming event happening in Cologne, Germany.
GameSpot on the other hand added that, "Mafia III is the next installment in the popular series known for immersing players into a world of organized crime through rich narrative storytelling and a beautifully crafted game world featuring period-accurate cars, music, and fashion."
While the release date announcement is going to happen next week, there are reports claiming that the official launch of "Mafia 3," will happen during the game's 13th anniversary on Aug. 28.
"Every fan and gamer were expecting either game developer 2K Czech or game publisher 2K Games to make an announcement about 'Mafia 3' in the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2015 held last month," Master Herald reported. "But since nothing came out at all, the next best date is during the exact 13th year when the first game of the series came out, cites Mafia Game Info."
PC Gamer claimed that 2K Games' parent company Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. has already registered four domains for "Mafia 3."
The domains include, mafia3thegame.com, mafiaiiithegame.com, mafiathree.com, and mafiathreethegame.com, NeoGAF reported.
In line with the release date news, IGN reported that "Mafia 3" will introduce three new characters namely, Tony, Mickey and Franklin.
"Franklin is reportedly an African American who was born in Louissiana. He is in his early 20s, about six feet tall and has a muscular build. He is depicted as an outsider to both white and black society but is fiercely loyal to those whom he considers as his family. He is also street-smart, strong, disciplined and knows how to get a job done.
Tony, who is also born in Louissiana, is of Italian descent. He is in his early 30s, thin, well-groomed and wears his dress very neatly. He is also calm, but he is said to be capable of resorting to violence if anyone gets his ire.
Mickey is also born in Louissiana. He is said to be in his late teens or early 20s with an average build. He is described to be a talker, someone who likes to talk big but cannot back it up with real actions. He also has a bad habit of taking credit for bigger jobs even though he was not part of it or hardly was part of it."
