Regular readers could bear in mind a hearsay that was doing the rounds again in May. The phrase on the road was that Hangar 13 — the developer behind the Mafia collection — was engaged on a brand new instalment. Fast ahead a number of months and right here we’re, with writer 2K formally confirming that the following Mafia recreation is within the works.

It’s early days, although. “It’s a number of years away and we won’t share something extra proper now,” Hangar 13 basic supervisor Roman Hladík clarifies. “We’re actually excited to maintain engaged on this beloved franchise and to entertain our gamers with new tales.”

As chances are you’ll recall, the studio has suffered a reasonably large variety of layoffs over the past 12 months or so, which led to lots of people questioning whether or not there would even be one other Mafia title. But the truth that growth has now been made public means that issues have smoothed out.

It could be fascinating to know what the premise for this mission is, as a result of the aforementioned hearsay mentioned that it might be a prequel to the prevailing Mafia trilogy. That would imply a pre-Nineteen Thirties setting.
