The protagonist of Mafia 3 is Lincoln Clay, a biracial man (half-white, half-black) who grew up an orphan in New Orleans. When he comes home from the Vietnam War, he finds family in the “Black mob” until the Italian mob “wipes them out, shoots Clay in the head, and leaves him for dead.” He unleashes a rampage of vengeance to vie for a spot in the city’s organized crime ring.
IGN commends Mafia 3: “The entire premise is raw, and sensitive, like an exposed nerve. New Orleans in the late ‘60s is a racial hotbed of bigotry and inequality, and in the world of organized crime, it’s shockingly amplified.” Mafia 3 will be released sometime in 2016.
