The trailer also treats us to a few snippets of the game’s story scenes, shoot-outs and punch-ups.

We get to see wise guys swinging knives, riding horses and glowering silently at sun-baked Sicilian countryside.

It’s all set to the sorrowful strains of Madama Butterfly.

Expect “authentic realism and rich storytelling”.

Personally, I don’t think you’re allowed to be both authentic and realistic.

It goes against nature.

I’ll allow it, though, because I enjoyedMafia 3for all its flaws.

That game had the most incredible review bugs, but it had a lot of style.

Being set in 1960s New Orleans definitely helped.

You might like to revisitlast year’s announcement trailer.

There will probably be a fuller version of the leaked trailer at GeoffFest later tonight.

I’ll post it here when it lands.

Needless to say, it wouldn’t go well for Mafia if the two rocked up side by side.

The Geoffening has begun!
