There will be a Demo for Mafia II

2K Games have announced today that Mafia II will have a downloadable demo available worldwide on August 10 on PSN and XBL. The actual game is set to be released on August 24th in North America, August 26th in Australia and August 27th internationally.

Here’s a description of what what will be included in the demo:

The Mafia II demo invites gamers to dive into the “Buzzsaw” level, where Vito and his buddies, Joe and Henry, are sent to take out a mobster known as “The Fat Man”. While the epic game spans two decades, the Buzzsaw demo takes place during the summer of the ‘50s – a time considered the “Birth of Cool”, and with it, rock ‘n’ roll, hot rods, and rebellious attitudes. The demo showcases the type of vibrant edge-of-your-seat action, as well as a slice of the expansive city of Empire Bay in the colorful era.
