No more experiments Hangaru 13but return to checked Mafia. This is evidenced by the departure of studio head Hayden Blackman, who founded the company 7 years ago, and COO Matthew Urban. This is evidenced by behind-the-scenes information from various sources.
At the beginning of the month, we received information from Kotak stating that the new mafia will be a prequel and built on Unreal Engine 5. Until now, the Mafia series has used a modified engine from the Czech studio 2K (today it is part of Hangar 13).
Nick Baker, aka Speschal, now Nick claims that Mafia 4 was indeed a prequel and The action takes place in Sicily at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.. Baker said this during the latest XboxEra podcast.
Sicily would be interesting from a thematic point of view, but the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries means we won’t particularly enjoy cars or automatic weapons. Therefore, this mafia will be quite far from the traditional first and second parts.

$53M FANTASY & SCI-FI PROJECT
In the past, Angar 13 has tested, among other things, a new brand that it had. mix sci-fi and fantasy in an open world, where the story had to remain an important element, and the traditional third-person view had to complement the first-person view. At least in early 2021, job postings were looking for new developers.
However, in November of the same year Take-Two has closed this project. It reportedly suffered a number of complications due to development restarts, technology bottlenecks, and issues with the 19th cover. The publisher was expected to cost $53 million.
THE NEW MAFIA HAS BEEN DEVELOPED EARLIER
According to unconfirmed information, the development of the new Mafia was previously stopped. She should have the action takes place in Las Vegas in the mid-1970s.. But then something happened and he took over Rhapsody spy action during the cold war in Berlin, which would also be tempting for us. However, he has not yet seen the light and unofficially started talking about its completion.
As you can see, in the research of Hangar 13 they lost their way, and it is the Mafia prequel that can be liberating.
