Hangar 13 has announced that Mafia III is just a “Singleplayer game, there is no multiplayer”. The confirmation came from Hangar 13 Boss Haden Blackman who spoke to our friend at GameReactor at Gamescom 2015.

When asked for the reason behind their decision to add “no multipayer” in Mafia III, Haden replied:

“We’re very focused on building up Lincoln as a character, so the game is really an unabashed single-player game. There is no multiplayer. But that’s really because we wanted to focus on putting you in this role of Lincoln, really develop him as a character, really nailing the cover-based shooting, the physics-based driving model.” “I love multiplayer games, but being able to play a game that’s a very curated story that I’m helping to craft along the way, those are my favourite types of games, so that’s what we’re building.”

Mafia III is about Lincoln Clay, an Orphan and Vietnam Veteran. He will be taking on the Italian mob. Lincoln Clay will have an option to get help (ONLY FOR SPECIAL MISSION`) from Cassandra, the afro woman and Burke, the man with a deadly moustache and the returning character Vito Scaletta. Also, Mafia III won’t have co-op. Check out other Mafia III Gameplay details such as weapons, characters and many others here.
