We have posted the trailer below for your viewing pleasure, stay tuned to PlanetXbox360.com for more details on Mafia II as they come about (especially during E3 2010 next month):
In development by 2K Czech, the same creative team behind the award-winning, genre-defining Mafia®, Mafia® II transports gamers into the dark and unforgiving world of the Mafia. The compelling narrative is embellished by a sophisticated, era-evoking atmosphere that meticulously replicates the clothing, cars, music and advertising of 1940's and 1950's Americana. Players will easily become immersed in the game's cinematic Hollywood-style experience with strong, believable characters in a living, breathing metropolis. By fusing high-octane gunplay with white-knuckle driving and an engaging narrative, Mafia II looks to be the industry's most compelling Mafia title to date.
Mafia II will be available in North America on August 24, 2010 and internationally on August 27, 2010 for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows PC. Mafia II is rated M for Mature by the ESRB. For more information on Mafia II, please visit www.mafia2game.com.
