Mafia III is looking better than ever.

Hangar 13 and 2K Games released a new trailer for their latest Mafia entry, Mafia III.

The 2-minute video explains the game’s “Criminal Ecology,” in which Executive Producer Denby Grace explains the game’s  criminal rackets and that each has its own different set of objectives and side-quests that will eventually weaken the racket and take out their boss.

Grace was recently in an interview with IGN, where he talked about Mafia III’s emphasis on Lincoln’s skin color and the treatment he will receive in certain places.

“There are places where if Lincoln looks out of place and seems out of place, people will react to that. There are places you can go that just being there is an offence and will elicit a police response. We aren’t so naive to think that a single game could cure racism, but if we can get the player to think, ‘Why am I being treated differently here than in other parts of town?’ then I think we’ve done something worthwhile.”

Mafia III releases on October 7th for PS4, Xbox One and PC. Check out the “Criminal Ecology” video below:
