The first of three story add-ons coming to Mafia, "Faster, Baby!" looks set to be shining an even greater light on the era's racial injustices, following Lincoln as he joins former partner Roxy Laveau to disrupt a local sheriff's attempts at shutting down a Civil Rights group, operating in the exterior of New Bordeaux.

Without overhyping this story add-on too much, it sounds as though it's going to delve deep into the intricacies that made Mafia III's story so engaging in the first place, shining a light on the all too notorious link between American law enforcement and white supremacist movements for one thing, and further elaborating on Lincoln's backstory for another.

We've already seen how placing a character-driven narrative within an immaculately researched historical setting can lend itself wonderfully to the open world genre - the main title's success alone is confirmation of that fact - so bringing the same multifaceted approach to Mafia's post-release package can only be good news.

As a reintroduction to New Bordeaux, the least we can expect is a riveting narrative and an action-oriented approach to gameplay. Count me in.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
