Step back into the backstabbing, corrupt world of Mafia III with its second story DLC drop, Stones Unturned, available to download right now. The DLC's missions take players away from the city to an all-new jungle location, with activities that involve preventing mercenaries from "hunting down a military plane and its cargo". New Bounty Missions can be accessed upon completion of the add-on, that also earn Lincoln a new associate - Robert Marshall.
There’s also a vehicle-mounted turret to have some fun with and ‘Sniper Service’, which allows players to dispatch a sniper team that quickly eliminates enemies, along with new outfits and fleet vehicles. Stones Unturned will be free to download for those who've already purchased the Season Pass, which you can do on PS4 or PC via CD Keys, if you fancy supporting Pass the Controller. Otherwise, you can pick the season pass up on your digital storefront of choice, or Stones Unturned separately for £11.99. Hanger 13’s post has all the DLC details. There’s just one more chunk of story content to come, Sign of the Times (expected in July), which will focus on a string of ritualistic killings that has New Bordeaux on the edge of terror, which Lincoln investigates at Father James’ request. Will you be returning to New Bordeaux? Check out the Stones Unturned launch trailer above and let us know what you think in the comments below.

Far Cry 5 official reveal: Trailer, story and gameplay details, character customisation, more26/5/2017 Ubisoft have officially unveiled Far Cry 5 after releasing a set of teaser trailers earlier in the week, which confirmed that the game will be the first in the franchise to be set within the United States. Players will have “total freedom” to roam across the farmland, forests, mountains and rivers that make up Hope County solo or with a friend in two-player co-op, joining forces with the locals and raising a resistance movement against the cult. As well as a mix of ground-based vehicles, players can take to the skies in planes where they’ll face off against the cult in aerial dogfights, and they’ll also be able to call upon some of the larger members of the local wildlife, such as bears and cougars, to help out during firefights. Ubisoft also introduced us to some of the residents we’ll presumably be fighting alongside in the battle for Hope County, who you can see more of in the three trailers below. Far Cry 5 sees the return of the series’ map editor, which allows players the “opportunity to create and play an infinite amount of new playgrounds”, according to Ubisoft, who promised to reveal more details about the tool’s new features “soon”.
