Brenda and John Romero’s really-rather-wonderful-looking mobster-themed strategy game, Empire of Sin, just got its first gameplay trailer, courtesy of today’s Inside Xbox livestream.
Empire of Sin unfolds among the shadows of 1920s Prohibition-era Chicago, with players attempting to build their crime empire from the ground up – using business smarts, intimidation, and, yes, violence – in a bid to become mob king or queen of the city.
In order to climb to the top of the crime pile, you’ll be able to indulge in the likes of bribery or black market trading, and even establish rackets (including speakeasies, breweries, casinos, brothels, or good old-fashioned protection rackets), all of which plays out in real-time.
