Next year, "Mafia 3" release date will finally arrive and for fans craving for some updates, read on.

Just a few months ago, the first trailer of the game was unveiled and it was confirmed that a new protagonist is onboard. Now, creative director Haden Blackman spoke with Game Informer to give light to the new main character, Lincoln Clay.

"That whole notion of being an orphan and looking for a place to belong was something we had really early on. We explored a couple of things with this," he said via Cross Map. "One is it's not just that he was raised as an orphan, he was raised in a Catholic Orphanage and that has its own weight to it. But once the orphanage is closed, what was he going to do?"

Blackman continued, "Well he's probably going to have to hit the streets and start trying to figure out how to survive. For me, what's really interesting about him is this notion that no matter what he does, he is always looking for this place to belong, though he can never really find it. It instills in him this overblown sense of loyalty and that becomes his fatal flaw."

"It's a really admirable quality, but he is so loyal that it gets him into a lot of trouble. Once the Italian mob betrays the black mob, that loyalty still drives him to seek revenge"

Blackman also said that the collectibles from "Mafia 2" will be the same which are the Playboy magazines. Also, cop harassment will be present during the course of the game as well.

"We've invested a lot into a system we call our World Interaction System. Cops who were harassing an interracial couple, that could have happened anywhere in the world with a few exceptions," he said.
