Mafia III will have a worldwide release on Oct. 7. 2K Games

"Mafia III" game developer Hangar 13 recently announced its post-launch plans for the upcoming game. There will be free and paid content after the game is released on Oct. 7.

Gamers can expect that Lincoln, the main character, will have his own wardrobe collection. The company said in its official bog post that the most requested feature for its upcoming game is for him to have different outfits. Lincoln can be seen donning a Vietnam War-era military uniform in the sample image shown by the studio.

Players will also be able to customize their rides. There will be new wheels, vehicle color-customization options and personalized license plates. Fans will also have the option to upgrade their vehicles' performance. There will even be rewards given to the winners. Hangar 13 also said that there would be more free stuff to arrive to the game.

Meanwhile, the company also announced during the PAX West 2016 that there will be three packs of paid content that will arrive in "Mafia III." Aside from adding to its story, they will also bring in exclusive vehicles, additional weapons and outfits, and several more races. Players can opt for the Season Pass that will include all three for US$29.99.

The three expansion packs are:

Faster, Baby!

Fast cars, dramatic chases, and stunt driving take center stage as Lincoln joins forces with his former flame, Roxy Laveau, to take down a corrupt Sheriff terrorizing Civil Rights activists on the outskirts of New Bordeaux.

Sign of the Times

A string of ritualistic killings has New Bordeaux on the edge of terror. At Father James' request, Lincoln agrees to hunt down the cult responsible, a quest that will take him from the dark heart of the old bayou to the drug-ridden counterculture of the inner city.

Stones Unturned

When a merciless rival resurfaces in New Bordeaux, Lincoln must join forces with CIA agent John Donovan to settle a blood feud that began in the war-torn jungles of Vietnam.

"Mafia III' will have a worldwide release on Oct. 7 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. Fans can now pre-order the game, either the Standard or Deluxe Edition.
