#ARE THEY MAKING MAFIA 4 UPGRADE#
MORE: Mafia: Definitive Edition trailer shows a large upgrade of character character. More : Mafia: Definitive Edition review a remake that you cant refuse. Gamers will play as an all-new protagonist during the golden years. The original Mafia was created in the 1930s in a fictional city inspired by Chicago, so if its a prequel then it will have an unusual early 20th century setting – so that at least it may be interesting. The Reddit leaker claims Mafia 4 will take place in Las Vegas during the 1970s, and it will be a direct sequel to the third entry. Supposedly another team are also looking to quit the company, but there are no more details about the new game. That smacks of serious management issues and/or a lack of synergy with owners Take-Two and now, rather than creating something new they have just returned to making a new mafia game instead. That always seemed to be an introspective concept, but the game was not so successful, which was still cancelled. Kotaku describe it as an action game called kloosen (or Code-named Volt) as a class-based co-op game, although previous reports characterised it as a Cthulhu encounter with Saints Row. One is a spy game called Rhapsody, and the other is a loot-based action-playing game codenamed Mosaic, and the third is the previously reported Codename Volt.

The game is currently being developed by series creators Hangar 13 (formerly Illusion Softworks), which seems to have experienced some trouble at the moment, with the departure of Haden Blackman and Chief Operating Officer Matthew Urban.īlackman is likely to be replaced by Nick Baynes, who is currently working at Hangar 13s, UK offices in Brighton, and is supposedly to lead a new Mafia game.Īccording to an expert report by Kotaku, the Hangar 13 has recently experimented with three new IPs, which have now been shut down. Even though these two people shoot highly competent with a world wide scope, none have been especially successful or the most successful of all of them and now there’s going to be another shot.Īccording to new rumors, the game is based on Nero’s codename and was made by Unreal Engine 5 rather than the bespoke graphics engine for the Mafia 3 remake.
#ARE THEY MAKING MAFIA 4 FULL#
The Mafia games have been around 20 years and have had three mainline sequels, a full remake of the original, and a series of remasters. You’re going to say that Mafia was the quintessential example of that phenomenon. There are also those that seem endless sequels, despite not being the one who thinks much about them.

There are several videogame franchises with a solid success and critical acclaim. The new Mafia is set to be made in Unreal Engine 5, so the creators will not use the development tools of their engine where they created Mafia 3 and a remake. Why would anyone want another edition of Mafia? (pic: 2K)Ī new Mafia game is reported to be going on at the original developer, after three new IPs were cancelled by 2K.
