Mafia 2 Announced
2K Games has announced that Mafia 2 is in development. A sequel to the original that sold more than two million copies worldwide, Mafia 2 is being developed by Illusion Softworks, the guys behind the original, for next-gen consoles and PC.
Following on from the original, Mafia 2 features the mob underworld of a fictitious late 1940s to early 1950s scenario. “As the original Mafia was a big success, we are excited to leverage the power of next generation console technology to create an all-new experience, while embracing the elements that resonated with the previous game’s fans,” said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. “The ‘wow’ factor of Mafia 2 is definitely the benchmark-setting visual quality and action that you expect to see only in Hollywood movies.”
