A few days ago it was reported that Mafia 4 might be announced at the upcoming Summer Game Fest, but since then several additional reports have appeared.
They indicate that 2K will share footage from new parts of such series as BioShock, Borderlands and Sid Meier's Civilization.
Jiri Bigas from the Czech portal Vortex .cz reported on the screening of Mafia 4 at Geoff Keighley's summer event. The journalist emphasized that he received promising news from trusted sources, and in the Czech Republic there is a lot of talk about the emergence of a new project.
“However, according to our information, the new “Mafia” will be presented very soon. We have already received several hints from informants abroad. In recent weeks, there has been a lot of behind-the-scenes talk in the Czech Republic about exposing the “Mafia.”
The journalist emphasized that there is no one hundred percent certainty, but given the information received, a preview of a new gangster adventure seems most likely.
It is worth recalling what kind of series Mafia was in charge of the Czech studio 2K (formerly Illusion Softworks), but in 2014 the team was closed, and the most important representatives of the company moved to the USA, where 2K announced the creation of Hangar 13. This team created Mafia 3 and should be responsible for the new part of the series that is being developed at least since mid-2020.
