One of the most anticipated games by Take-Two games, "Mafia 3," is making a lot of noise this year. New domains for the said game will be functional soon, which means a huge announcement or even a teaser trailer is inbound.

It is worth noting that the rumblings began when Vito Scalleta's voice actor, Rick Pasqualone, hinted on his Twitter account that a huge "Mafia 3" announcement is coming soon.

Although no further details were revealed as of that moment, it might mean that Vito Scalleta will be back in the third installment. But the question is, will he remain as the main protagonist or is he the new villain?

In a report by by DSOgaming, "Mafia 3" will be a bit similar to "GTA V" as players will be able to switch between characters named Franklin, Michael, and Tony. According to Crossmap, the leak regarding the new characters names when the "Casting for Untitled Video Game" was held by 2K games.  

Fans expected the game to be revealed during E3 2015 last June, but with the recent turn of events, the game is poised to be announced at Gamescom 2015. Crossmap also claimed that fans will be getting a new trailer from Take-Two games and 2K not later than March 31 of 2016. The event is happening on August 5. See the domain registration below.

Meanwhile, other "Mafia 3" rumors include Louisiana as the next possible setting for the game. In an report by 8bitchimp, New Orleans was one of the cities in the United States that had a strong influence by the Mafia. Other plausible locations include Florida, Dallas, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee as it will give gamers a completely different feel compared to its predecessor.

In terms of the game's era, it is rumored be around the 1960s–1970s since "Mafia 2" happened during the 1930s–1950s. This will give characters from the previous installment enough room to grow, especially for Vito. Also, this will give the three alleged protagonists a different take on the world of organized crime.

Lastly, the biggest question in the "Mafia 2" ending is, Did Joe actually survive?Kpopstarz reported that he might have managed to fend off Leo's henchmen and is now out for retribution against Vito.

As for "Mafia 3" release date for PS4 and Xbox One, it will probably be announced this year during Gamescom 2015 and the actual game will probably arrive in 2017 or 2018.
