During the saga mafia stays on a compilation that has fans wowed it seems according to Kotakuthat a prequel to the first episode is in development. Nevertheless, All is not rosy in Hangar 13the studio that has been responsible for the series for some time…
A prequel to the first episode?
Let’s start with the good news, as it looks like a new installment in the franchise is on the way. Its codename would be Nero and we’re only in the early stages of creation. At a technical level, it would be the Unreal Engine 5 that would hold the rope to get one of the most impressive renders. Therefore, end the engine of the controversial Mafia III used in the production of previous remasters.
On the other hand, it is difficult to know if the project will come to an end when we remember the grievances that the teams faced. Several new licenses have been in preparation since 2017, but these ideas have not materialized. We can quote the musical game rhapsody what makers and publishers couldn’t agree on, or inspired the action game destiny 2 and internally have the name Volt. The latter is symptomatic as it was secretly terminated by Take-Two after investing $53 million. And the problems don’t end here…
The family loses their godfather
This turbulent period, which is ongoing, is indeed leading to significant departures from Hangar 13. So much so that the parent company has just announced it the departure of the studio manager, Haden Blackman, a LucasArts veteran.

In his place, the lucky winner is none other than Nick Baynes, who up until then had been in charge of building up Brighton.
Take-Two, however, seems evasive about the extent of the Upheavals within the studio. We can specifically cite another exit that has been passed over in silence, none other than that of Matthew Urban, Director of Operations. The information comes from what he may have written on his LinkedIn account explicitly stated that his adventure with Hangar 13 was over. And according to certain rumours, he would not be the last to sail to new horizons…
We will continue to closely monitor a future announcement of this future title prequel. mafia Original, when its development comes to an end. What is certain is that Hangar 13 will undergo a restructuring, the extent of which we do not yet know exactly. Hopefully these changes bear fruit…
