Mafia 3: Everything You Need to Know
The Mafia 3 journey from rumor to release has been a four-year trek of speculation, expectation, and new beginnings. With the anticipated next chapter in the open-world crime adventure hitting PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 7, now's the perfect time to look back on its history, from hints and teases to imminent release.
Below is a compilation of Mafia 3 news, IGN in-depth coverage, trailers, and gameplay that's slowly trickled out over the last four years.
Here's everything you need to know about Mafia 3.
The very first blip on the Mafia 3 radar came way back in August of 2012, with reports the now-defunct 2K Czech was developing Mafia 3 for the then-next-generation consoles, though the developer refused to comment on the rumors at that time.
Salem: New Season 3 Preview
Salem returns for Season 3 in just a few weeks, and we've got a new look at what's to come this season.
In the first look below, you'll see new footage and hear what the cast and creators have to say about a season that finds the devil himself now among the people of Salem - with only the deceased Mary (Janet Montgomery) able to stop him. Plus, get a look at a new character played by none other than Marilyn Manson.
You can find out much more about Salem: Season 3 at New York Comic Con this week, as stars Janet Montgomery and Shane West, along with co-creators and executive producers Brannon Braga and Adam Simon, will debut more footage and discuss what's to come. I'll be moderating the panel and NYCC attendees can join us Friday, October 7th from 2:45pm-3:45pm in room 1A06.
Watch Dogs 2 Adds Fun to Every Facet of the Game
After a really effective reveal just before E3 and the surprise news that it would be released just a few months later, I had one single hope for Watch Dogs 2 — that it would take the solid framework built by the original and confidently add meat to the bones, much like Assassin’s Creed 2 did for that series. Well, after spending over five hours getting into all sorts of trouble across the entirety of Watch Dogs 2’s depiction of the Bay Area, I’m happy to report that it seems like Ubisoft has done just that.
After my extensive hands-on time, as well as a series of interviews with the team up at Ubisoft Montreal, it was clear to me that the mission statement of Watch Dogs 2 was to ask a simple question when it came to every single facet of the game — is this fun? Part of the main criticism of the original WD was that Aiden Pearce was a bit of a wet blanket, and his grim quest for revenge didn’t exactly jive with the idea of using the city of Chicago as your own chaotic playground. Well, all that is thrown out the window in WD2, as our new hero Marcus Halloway represents a much more lively facet of the hacking world, and in so, allows the players to treat San Francisco as a canvas for their own destructive ideas.

Superman Writers Pay Homage to Darwyn Cooke
Today's Superman #8 is a special issue because it's the first chapter in a two-part story done in tribute to the late, great comic creator Darwyn Cooke. The New Frontier is Cooke's most iconic comic work, and so this issue sees Superman, Superboy and Krypto wind up at a signature setting from that story, Dinosaur Island.
We don't want to spoil what happens, as watching events unfold and seeing the signature elements of Cooke's work slowly begin to appear is what makes reading it such a powerful and emotional experience. So once you've gotten a chance to read it, come back and hear what co-writers Pete Tomasi and Patrick Gleason have to say about how they went about crafting a fitting tribute to a comic book legend.
