E3 2016: 3 Things We Learned About Mafia III

New Bordeaux

New Bordeaux is Mafia III’s fictional version of a 1960’s New Orleans. It is more than just a backdrop though, as the developers have ensured that it is an important character in the story. It is a living component of Mafia III that embodies the beauty of the bayou and the ugliness of humanity during one of the worst times in American history. Everything you do in this city will have an effect on the story.

During E3 2016 we were given some details about the different areas of New Bordeaux:

• The different areas in the city are called Districts and there are 10 of them, each with their own flair and hidden secrets. While not all were detailed, some received a few important details.
• Delway Hollow – This is where the Black Mob used to run their rackets out of. After they were wiped out by the Marcano family, the Dixie Mob moved in and began slinging heroin while providing kickbacks to Sal Marcano.
• French Ward – This is where Uncle Lou (Sal’s brother) reigns. It’s one large party with brothels and drugs running rampant.
• Frisco Fields – The affluent District of New Bordeaux where lavish mansions and sprawling fields are all around. This also happens to be the heart of the racism and corruption plaguing the city.

Players will be able to discover even more Districts and new crime syndicates as they explore the sprawling open world.
