Mafia II Ships In North America

Hot off the presses, 2K Games has announced that their highly anticipated Action title, Mafia II, has begun shipping to stores across North America today. As you'd expect, the studio is super excited to get the game into your hands:

"Mafia II is what gamers want in a mob game – the marriage of a compelling story with edge-of-the-seat action and lifelike characters that immerse players in an epic entertainment experience," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "When you add in a setting that accurately reflects a period in history that has never been rendered so beautifully, it sets a new benchmark not just for the action-crime genre, but for any game set in the real world with a rich story to tell."

Mafia II is scheduled for release in Australia on August 26th and everywhere else on August 27th.
