Description
About This Game
Joe's Adventures is the third and final DLC and was released on 23 November 2010. The DLC sees Joe Barbaro as the main playable character and focuses on the events that occur in Empire Bay during the years that Vito is imprisoned in the main Mafia II storyline, starting immediately after his arrest in 1945, but mostly taking place in 1950, after Joe was forced to leave town for five years due to Luca Gurino putting a hit on him; most of the DLC's storyline sees Joe working for the Falcone family to rise in their ranks, so that Luca would be forced to call off the hit on him. The DLC combines standard missions with score-based, open world missions. It is estimated to provide eight hours of gameplay.
