The PC Gaming Show will show some new info about Mafia: Definitive Edition, HUMANKIND and New World.

We have no idea what exactly will appear on the Future Games Show, but you can expect exclusive materials about next-gen consoles, AAA projects, indie games, mobile devices and cloud gaming platforms.

See you on June 13 https://t.co/7RAqrgXRog
