Ruthless Trailer For MAFIA III Shows What Happens When You Mess With Family

Update: There's also some gameplay video that's been released, so check that out below the trailer. Original article follows:

2K Games and Hangar 13 have released the worldwide reveal trailer for Mafia III, and thought it doesn't feature any in-game footage, it gives a great sense of the themes that remain at the center of all mafia-related media: loyalty and betrayal.

The trailer has a terrific visual style, and it looks extremely cinematic; the human characters aren't quite photorealistic yet, but the developers are inching closer and closer to being able to finally bridge the Uncanny Valley.
