Last week, we had posted that Mafia 2 would be unveiled at the Games Convention. Now 2K Games has officially confirmed the game. The sequel features a deep mobster-driven narrative packed with both behind-the-wheel and on-foot action.
Mafia 2 Overview:
- Like the original Mafia title, Mafia 2 plunges gamers in the mob underworld of a fictitious late 1940’s-early 1950’s scenario. Gamers will easily become engaged in the game’s cinematic Hollywood movie experience with strong, believable characters in a living, breathing city. By fusing high octane gunplay with white knuckle driving and an engaging narrative, Mafia 2 looks to be the industry’s most compelling Mafia title to date.
Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K says, “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. The ‘wow’ factor of Mafia 2 is definitely the benchmark-setting visual quality and action that you expect to see only in Hollywood movies.”
Mafia 2 will be developed by Illusion Softworks, who worked on the original Mafia title. The game will release on next generation consoles as well as Games for Windows. However, 2K Games has not given any details about the launch dates of the game.
