Interestingly enough, the American consumer electronics corporation is not the only company advertising 2K Games' crime-ridden title as being available that day, for Amazon and GameStop have also listed the exact same release date for Mafia 3 on its websites. Several listings by major retailers display a release date for 2K Games' Mafia 3, potentially leaking its availability prior to developers' official announcement.Īccording to an image of a Best Buy pre-order card sent into IGN by a fan, the possible release date for Mafia 3 is April 26, 2016.
