După trista zi de ieri în care am anunţat că noul joc din seria Bourne a fost anulat, azi am bucuria de a vă spune că Mafia 2 a primit, în sfârşit, dată de lansare oficială. Aşadar, Take Two au hotărât să lanseze Mafia 2 pe data de 27 august 2010 în Europa şi pe 24 august 2010 în Statele Unite. Jocul este creat de 2K Cehia şi va fi disponibil pentru PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 şi PC. O veste bună cu siguranţă, aştept acest joc de ani buni. Mafia a fost jocul care a reuşit să creeze la vremea aceea, vorbim de 2002, o lume pe care The Godfather nu a reuşit în 2006 şi a euşuat complet anul trecut. Sunt convins că Mafia 2 o să fie exact ce aşteptăm noi. Pentru comunicatul de presă click.

UPDATE: După click găsiți și cover art-urile pentru versiunile de Xbox 360 și PlayStation 3.

2K Games Announces August 24, 2010 North American Street Date for Mafia® II
Epic mobster video game combines rich storytelling with the style and vices of the ’40s and ’50s for high-stakes third-person shooter

New York, NY – March 25, 2010 – 2K Games announced today that 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 currently in development by 2K Czech, the same creative team behind the award-winning, genre-defining Mafia®, which captivated millions of gamers around the world.

Through a compelling narrative, Mafia II transports gamers into the dark and unforgiving world of the Mafia. The fiction 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. According to IGN.com, “Mafia II is definitely at the top of our most wanted lists.”

Born the son of a poor immigrant, Vito is a beaten down Italian-American who is trying to escape the life of poverty that consumed his childhood. Vito, along with his lifelong friend, Joe, will descend into the world of organized crime. Looking to escape the life of hardship that his father led, Vito dreams about becoming a “made man,” and together with Joe, will work to prove themselves to the Mafia as they try to make their names on the streets. However, the two quickly realize that life as a wise guy isn’t quite as glamorous as it seems.

Additionally, Mafia II will be playable by the public for the first time at the Penny Arcade Expo East (PAX East) being held at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts from March 26 – March 28 at the 2K Games booth (booth #103).

Mafia II is rated M for Mature by the ESRB. For more information on Mafia II, please visit www.mafia2game.com.

2K Games is a division of 2K, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO).
