Game news Mafia: Will there be a new game? The studio director answers bluntly, but there’s a catch

The mafia leaks information

Since September 25, 2020, almost two years ago, the entire trilogy mafia

has a definitive version that allows us to enjoy the series in sufficiently new versions. But it must be said that since the release of Mafia IIIin October 2016, the license didn’t really bring anything new. However, gamers began to get a glimmer of hope last May when early reports of the upcoming Hangar 13 title began circulating online.

Thanks to my boxwe got our hands on a whole bunch of details about this unofficial title from Studio Hangar 13. The project, codenamed “Nero” internally, would take place at the very end of the 19th century (between 1890 and the early 1900s), which would mean this is a prequel to mafia and not a consequence of mafia 3and that it would benefit from development Sous Unreal Engine 5or the promise of discovering an environment and sumptuous decorations, and what more On Sicily ! Beyond this enticing information, other sources have been cited a more linear formula

, at the expense of a new open world that would be more in line with the license’s DNA. Today and three months later Roman Hladík woke up from his silence…

The Godfather of Hangar 13 has spoken!

Of course, the General Manager of Hangar 13 Studios did not miss such an event. And whoever says “birthday” suddenly says “surprise gift” for fans. No doubt they are more than happy to learn, as announced by Roman Hladík, that a brand new mafia project is being developed within the studio.. Nevertheless, according to the manager, it is still too early to reveal any information about this title and even less to respond to the rumors about this mysterious project, which should be treated with caution. Waiting, Here’s what he said during his last interview.

I’m happy to confirm that we’ve started work on a brand new mafia project (…) While it’s still a few years away and we can’t share anything more at this point, we’re really excited to continue working on this beloved franchise and entertaining our players with new stories. — Roman Hladík, CEO of the Hangar 13 studio

Yes, as he confirmed We’ll have to be very patient before we know what this prequel (or sequel) is fully reserving for us.. Note that the Hangar 13 studio has seen some upheaval recently — the departure of the studio founder as well as 2K’s cancellation of a title codenamed “Volt” – which could explain why the studio is taking time to get things right and meet the expectations of the gaming community.
