Mafia 2
Last month, we talked about the second DLC for Mafia II with Jimmy’s Vendetta. This month, the third DLC has been announced and it is a bit on the lighter side with Joe’s Adventures. Not really, but Joe Barbaro will get to find his inner self after losing his best friend and cohort Vito Scaletta to the prison system. While Vito is gone, Joe will look into why Vito went away, what exactly is going on in Vito’s Clemente family and be able to check out new locations and buildings in Empire Bay. Check out the release and screens for more details, but a release date and pricing has yet to be announced.
