Apparently the story behind that is a bit murky. Gone are the repetitive missions from MAFIA III. I'm not sure if any characters will return - I never asked this, unfortunately, although I would expect Vito to make an appearance at the very least. The game will feature a huge map to traverse of course, the story will span a decade according to one of my developer sources, the other developer claims that this was initially not the case as they wanted to continue the documentary style of MAFIA III's storytelling at first, but instead will be a more traditional 'now' story with no flashbacks or interviews ahead of the events. Said to be very 'Scorsese-esque' whatever that means. You will play as a new protagonist and it will return to you playing as the Italian Mob in Vegas' golden years of organised crime. The game, according to my two developer sources and journalist, will indeed be set in 70s Vegas and continue on from where MAFIA III left off.

After a good 5-6 months of internal struggles, they decided that the project was ambitious and something they wished to pursue, now, every branch (aside from the Czech Republic, I'll get to that) are working on MAFIA IV. This team, according to my two developer sources, picked up their original MAFIA IV pitches and prototypes and hit the ground running. If that makes my credibility lower, then so be it.Īs some of you may already know - MAFIA IV started prototyping stages of development right after MAFIA III wrapped up its DLC season, however as it was reported, the project was 'cancelled' or 'passed on' by Hangar 13 management in favour of an original IP (all reported and confirmed).Īfter development on their 'original project' wasn't gaining any traction, they decided to assemble a small unit which then became Hangar 13 in Brighton, UK. They are very reputable, obviously I can't reveal who they are, nor shall I, as I wish not to hurt their career or cause any legal issues. Two of them former developers for Hangar 13, one of them being a journalist. Stay tuned for any latest news regarding Mafia 4.Īre you excited about the new Mafia game? Let us know your thoughts.I have three separate sources confirming this. And according to the demos and gameplay betas that we’ve had so far, the latest Unreal Engine looks really promising.Ĭurrently, we don’t have any release date for the game, but the prospect of an older character returning and we get to know more about the background of the much-loved trilogy has surely got us excited. Some rumors also state that Mafia 4 will skip the Mafia 3 engine and will instead use the Unreal Engine 5. Moreover, the game will also be more linear in style than the older titles. Don Salieri was the boss of Tommy who was the main protagonist of Mafia 1.Īlthough there has been no confirmation as to what will be the role of Don Salieri in the game, only his involvement has been confirmed. The involvement of an older character in the Mafia games, Don Salieri, has also been confirmed by Nick. The events of the game will take place in Sicily. Also, the game will be set in the late 19th century and will span till the early 20th century. Nick revealed that according to his sources the game is supposedly going to be a prequel to the first game. Yesterday, in a podcast with Xbo圎ra, featuring Shpeshal Nick, who is a very well-known insider of the industry we got some new details on the new Mafia game. Along with this news, a publisher also revealed that a new Mafia game is in development. However, since the release of the Mafia Definitive Edition, which was a teenager of the original games, there were various rumors that a new Mafia 4 might be in development.Īlthough all we had were rumors recently we got the official news that Haden Blackman is stepping down as Studio Head of Hangar 13, and is leaving the company to pursue his passion for a new endeavor. Last year, Hangar 13 and 2K Games released a remake of the original Mafia, and even though it was technically incredible, the developers were unable to recreate the same great atmosphere as the original because of some of the brilliant dialogue lines of the characters, particularly the protagonist, were changed. When it comes to story-telling in the realm of organized crime, the game has always been hailed as a masterpiece.
