2K Games and developer Hangar 13 have announced that a fourth game in the Mafia franchise is in development. Over the course of this year, we’ve heard several rumors about the supposed Mafia 4, which should tell a story that takes place before the first game.

Although the studio has confirmed the development, we don’t yet have great details about its story or the time period in which the game takes place.

In a new interview published on the official Mafia game website, Roman Hladík, general manager of the Hangar 13 studio, revealed that the next game in the series is on the way. Hladík, who has worked on all titles in the Mafia franchise, made it clear that the project’s development is still in the early stages and should take some time to launch.

The announcement comes in conjunction with the franchise’s 20th anniversary celebration, so it’s good to see the franchise continue into the future.

Work has started on an all-new Mafia project
