It is currently unclear what the future of the Mafia series will be.

Normally the Mafia is not a group you want to encounter – especially not four times! But in the case of the action-adventure series from Take-Two, many fans are happy to make an exception, after all, the previous games have always entertained at a high level.
Mafia 4 is the next logical step and in fact the game has been officially in development since 2022.
The game could be shown for the first time very soon. Yes, we have to use the subjunctive because we don't want to give you false promises. Because even the leaker is not entirely sure what will happen next.
Something is said to be up at Take-Two
The insider Kurakasis claims to know that Take-Two began preparations for an announcement about the Mafia franchise a few days ago.

I can tell you that a few days ago Take-Two started preparing for an announcement around the Mafia series.
It's hard for me to narrow down the time frame, but Judas has [Take-Two] Preparations started around three to four weeks before the new trailer was released, so…soon!

He doesn't give an exact time frame. However, he notes that a similar marketing measure in the case of the first-person shooter Judas, which was also developed by Take-Two, took around three to four weeks.
Our self-made math robot has said that we can expect news about Mafia around the second week of May if there is any truth to the leaker's claims.

The ending of Mafia lost some of its impact in the Definitive Edition
Mafia 4? Next gen update? Everything seems possible
In any case, Kurakasis is no stranger. More recently, he correctly predicted the reveal of Metro Awakening and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. You can therefore give the insider a certain amount of trust with a clear conscience.
Perhaps in order to protect his good reputation, Kurakasis himself is already putting the brakes on euphoria. He himself doesn't know what the subject of the announcement is. First gameplay for Mafia 4? A next gen update for the Mafia Trilogy? Something completely different? In the end, we probably have to be patient.
A continuation of the Mafia series is only logical from a commercial perspective alone. Mafia 3, released in 2016, sold over seven million copies and the aforementioned Mafia Trilogy from 2020 was also likely to have been a profit for Take-Two with around two million copies sold.
