However, some of the gameplay mechanics and the presence of technical issues drew criticism. Upon release, the game received mixed reviews, with praise directed at its story, characters, darker themes, and soundtrack. The game's soundtrack features several licensed songs composed by various musicians who were active during the time period. Much of the development work constituted the open world's creation, and several team members conducted field research around Louisiana to capture footage for the design team. After deciding on recreating New Orleans in 1968, the development team drew influence from the series' previous projects, and designed the game around Clay to replicate the core structure of its predecessors. 2K Czech, the developer of the series' first installments, oversaw restructure, with much of the development team assigned to the company's new studio, Hangar 13. The development of Mafia III began soon after Mafia II 's release, but initially had problems. After the Mafia betray and murder his family, Lincoln embarks on a quest for revenge while slowly building a criminal empire and seizing power from other criminal organisations in the city. Set within the fictional city of New Bordeaux (based on New Orleans) in 1968, the story follows former criminal and Vietnam veteran Lincoln Clay, who is forced to return to a life of crime to help his adoptive family settle problems with the local branch of the Mafia.

It is the sequel to Mafia II and the third installment in the Mafia series. It was released in October 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows, in May 2017 for macOS, and in October 2021 for Google Stadia. As long as Rockstar continues to innovate and bring us something fresh with every game, whereever we decide to play next should be good.Mafia III is a 2016 action-adventure video game developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K Games. There are still plenty of places to explore, and cities to look at. At the same time though, there is no real reason for the game to leave the shores of the United States either. The American dream has seemed to spread across the globe at this point anyway. While the games have followed the satirical “ Americana” themes, there is no reason why we need to stay within the U.S.

While it’s fine to expand, or come back to the same locations every once in awhile, it may be time for something new. They do need to start adding some new locations to their games though. No matter where Rockstar plans to take us next, surely it is going to be a good experience. We’d more likely to see something like this in Assassin’s Creed, but it may be an exciting location to play through for the GTA 6 as well.

At any rate, it would certainly make for a great location that most games simply haven’t even bothered to explore at all. There could be ancient, Egyptian carvings depicting alien abduction and lost mummies. Cairo literally has new building built on top of old ones too, so there is plenty of underground exploration that the player could do, and it would be a perfect location for Rockstar to keep up their conspiracy theories from the previous games with aliens. Now this would be awesome! First of all it’s an ancient city that has a mixture of new and old, historical architecture and secondly, Pyramids! Imagine driving a dirt bike up one of those, and making a helicopter crash into one.
