August 21, 2007 - Illusion Softworks is developing a follow-up to the 2004 gangland crime game Mafia.

Set in the 1940s and 1950s, Mafia 2 will feature "high octane gunplay with white knuckle driving and an engaging narrative," according to a press release by publisher 2K Games.

"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."

Illusion, based in Prague, Czech Republic, developed the original Mafia game and is also responsible for the Hidden and Dangerous and Vietcong series.

Mafia 2 is being developed for PC and "next-generation consoles," 2K said, but no specific platforms were mentioned.

Q:Isnt 2K part of Rockstar empire?
EDIT
Take Two Intreactive owns 2K games as well as Rockstar.

These are the few game producers left with Quality content, unlike EA

^thanks.

i believe M2 (mafia 2) is waaay better than GTA4 in terms of gfx.

see the clip @ 52 seconds, see how the water splashes , see the game charachters, they look more realistic than GTA4's.

R* better give us PC version (gta4) soon or get wiped out

 

[Third Eye]

Mafia 2 will pwn GTA IV in gameplay and graphics.

 

[pagol123]
