The Mafia series hasn't been quite as massively popular as Grand Theft Auto - also under Take-Two Interactive's umbrella - but it's been rightly praised for creating interesting, era-appropriate worlds to tackle a bit of criminal activity within.

Given that, we're excited to hear more about Mafia III, which was just properly revealed yesterday at Gamescom. The two previous entries were set in the 1930s and 1940s, respectively, but this new Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC adventure shifts the action ahead to New Orleans in 1968.

It should be an intriguing setting for an open-world action affair, but Mafia III's appeal comes from more than just location. Moving past the tried-and-true Italian organized crime stories of the past, this entry features a returned Vietnam War veteran named Lincoln Clay who gets tangled up in the black mob. In fact, it's the Italian mob they're fighting against.
