The Mafia saga turns 20 with the announcement of a new game.
Hangar 13 wanted to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Mafia saga in style announcing that is developing a new installment. However, the study has clarified that to see this title full of crime in an open world, “a few years” are missing. “I’m happy to confirm that we have started work on a new Mafia project!“, have been the words of the general manager of Hangar 13, Roman Hladík, to break the news.
“While we are a few years away and cannot share anything else at this time, we are very excited to continue working on this beloved franchise and entertain our players with new stories”. It should be noted that this game would not have to be Mafia 4, since the latest rumors indicated that the saga could be preparing a prequel to its history.
The news of a new installment of Mafia comes when its developer Hangar 13 is undergoing restructuring after the departure of its director, Haden Blackman, who was also saying goodbye to the parent company 2K. It also sounded loud that 2K had canceled a new Volt-coded Hangar 13 title, a project that had allegedly been in development in various forms since the year 2017, so this Mafia title could be a short time in development.
Mafia re-released their original work
The latest installment of the Mafia saga, Mafia 3, was released in 2016 to the most disparate reviews. However, the last release was Mafia: Definitive Edition, which offered the original 2002 installment on PS4, Xbox One and PC in a remastered way. It will be necessary to see the course that the saga takes now, if with a fourth numbered installment or a trip to the past. Of course, we expect great news both visually and in the playable, although we will have to wait a while to see the first images of the project.
