This first video dev-diary for Mafia II introduces the game's story and characters. Releasing this August 24 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, the sequel to Illusion Softworks' (nowdays 2K Czech) Mafia game is powered by the studio's next-generation engine, built specifically for Mafia II. Players will experience the true evolution of the Mob game that defined a genre: gunfights, hand-to-hand combat and vehicular exploration feature new depth and dimension that allow players to experience the world of Mafia II in a way that will keep them coming back for more.
