2K's announcement says Mafia has been "rebuilt from the ground up" by Hangar 13 as "a faithful but expanded 4K- and HDR-ready remake that not only makes dramatic improvements to the original's visuals and gameplay, but also builds upon its award-winning narrative and adds new features like motorcycles and collectibles to the 1930s city of Lost Heaven." Oh good, collectibles? I wonder how much they've fiddled with it all. The game being 18 years old now, it's needed the most work. Also, as someone who sometimes likes to follow traffic laws in games, I find it unreasonably pleasing that you do get fined for speeding. Comparisons to GTA are a bit weird because while it does offer a good slice of virtuacity to drive, run, and shoot around, it's not really much trying to be a sandbox to play in.

Mafia's a good'un, a third-person drive-o-shooter about a taxi driver who semi-accidentally falls in with the mob in the 1930s. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. And Mafia III is getting its DLC thrown in for free.

As well as remaking the 2002 wiseguy 'em up, they've given the less-good 2010 sequel Mafia II a less-dramatic remastering, which is due to launch today as a free update. After accidentally blowing the surprise last week, they've now made Mafia: Definitive Edition official. Think RE2 Remake levels.A real pretty remake of Mafia is coming on August 28, 2K announced today.

Not sure when, but they said "SOON" (TM) - Hangar 13's Czech branch is working on this, it's a complete overhaul and uses the MAFIA IV engine. Now then, MAFIA II Remaster - yes, this is a thing and it's coming sooner than you think. Expected to be revealed next year, with a 2021 release, next gen obviously. Motion capture began on the game about 8-9 months ago. It'll be on a new version of the MAFIA II/III engine, massively overhauled, many of the technical issues that plagued M3 should now be mostly non-existent apparently. One of my sources was telling me of how you can literally build, buy out, and expand casinos, you can take a rundown building and turn it into a metropolis. It's insane the stuff they plan with this. Many planned mechanics for MAFIA III have made their way into MAFIA IV, one of which being an empire building system, far more in depth than anything I've heard of in any game before. The game (MAFIA III) originally allowed you to go straight for the racket bosses, each with unique encounters and deaths, and not have to do the repetitive filler stuff, but as the release date loomed over the developers, the producers were pressuring them to get it shipped and had to make some quality drawbacks. 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. I have three separate sources confirming this.
