On Monday, we informed you of a recently opened job opening at Hangar 13 Studios that could point to the future of the Mafia series. Today we are receiving other interesting snippets, which are again taken from the updated list of vacancies on the LinkeIn platform. This time it’s the positions of Chief AI Designer and Lead AI Designer where combat and stealth mechanics design will be mentioned. Due to this, it can be assumed that stealth will also appear in the new mafiawhich was also present to a limited extent in older works.
The position of Senior Systems Designer contains somewhat more unexpected information. The ad mentions that the person is suitable for the position Experience with AAA multiplayer games and games with live service elements. Although it is explicitly stated that the first two positions are associated with the new mafia, no specific title is given for this vacancy. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that, at least in this case, the proposal refers to a different game.
However, in connection with the Hangar 13 studio, this is not the first time that a title with elements of a live service has been mentioned. Even longer in the studio Volt project was created, which was to be built on a multiplayer game and live service model. However, in 2021, its development was discontinued. After that, the studio had to focus on the development of the new Mafia. So it cannot be ruled out that Mafia 4 will borrow some elements from this never released project.
