For the past few days, there have been reports that developer Hangar 13 is now back on the project. an der Mafia-series should work, after two entirely new projects failed. New details have now emerged regarding this.
Once again, insiders are making headlines, claiming that the new Mafia still a prequel story to the original Mafia-Game is, most recently as a remake (our review) was published. Here jumps the insider Shpeshal Nick to the side and claims that the new Mafia would take place in Sicily before the original.
The birth of organized crime?
During this period, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, we experience the story of Don Salieri and how he rose to power within the Mafia. Chronologically, this would certainly fit well for a prequel story that would also connect with the rest of the story of... Mafia would come together well.
As a reminder: Mafia It was set during the First World War, followed by Mafia II in World War II, as well as Mafia III during the Vietnam War. Should the prequel story prove true, it would be the first time a film has been set outside of America, and during a time when organized crime was in its infancy. A MafiaA game set even later in the timeline, perhaps during the Cold War, would be difficult to imagine if one wanted to maintain the DNA of the series.
However, it should be noted that these rumors are far from confirmed, and we will likely have to be patient until the potential premiere. According to current information, the new Mafia only at an early stage of development.
