Will a game this year achieve the feat of overshadowing the immense GTA 6 ? A former competitor to the license resurfaces. An announcement regarding the license Mafia is in preparation! This announcement should be made official in the coming weeks. Is this a fourth opus? Is this a spin-off? Everything suggests that a trailer is in preparation. The saga was in competition with GTA for a long time, but this confrontation is brought up to date.
Let's take a pinch of salt
A Mafia 3 which divided a lot on many points, a remake of Mafia first of the name in 2020, but since then, nothing. License Mafia hasn't given any sign of life for a while and rumors have been flying everywhere since the release of the remake. This new information shared on X (formerly Twitter) should delight many fans of the saga, who have been waiting for 8 years for a fourth opus.
I can tell you that a few days ago, Take-Two began preparations for an announcement regarding the Mafia series
It's hard for me to determine the timeframe, but with Judas I've seen them gearing up for the new trailer about 3-4 weeks before it dropped, so…
Soon™️ 🙂

According to Kurakasis, an active Twitter user, Take Two would be about to unveil a new opus of the famous game series Mafia. The account is known for its early discoveries regarding games like Marvel's 1943: Rise of Hydra. This is due to his research on trademark registrations. He suggests that this new release from the studio could be officially announced in the near future, that is to say a few weeks.
A sequel that talks about the past?
The previous year, under undisclosed title status, information from job advertisements suggested that the next game in the saga Mafia was in preparation. This game, planned for various platforms, was then in the pre-production phase and used the Unreal Engine 5 engine.
Job postings also indicated that this next iteration of the franchise Mafia was going to offer improved game mechanics, including infiltration and combat. This development promises a richer experience than that offered in the third episode.
Let's not forget the information from Kotaku either. In May 2022, the site reported that the “sequel” would be a prequel set in Sicily, the birthplace of the mafia. The story would take place in the 1930s. If this information turns out to be accurate, we will have a game bringing significant depth to the license. The narrative potential of this next production makes us want to know even more about what is being prepared, but we will have to be patient.
