2K is going to make a game announcement you can’t refuse.

The publisher teased on its Twitter account that it’ll reveal Mafia III on August 5.

The original Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven was a 2002 open-world game for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC. Mafia II, the last game in the series, came out for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in 2010.

We don’t know anything about the third installment, but it’ll likely be another open-world game about, you know, the mafia.
