A brand new job itemizing for developer Hangar 13 hints that Mafia 5 might be in early manufacturing. The outline of the job submit on LinkedIn hints to a previous report from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier that the developer hopes to greenlight a sequel to Mafia 4 whereas it’s being made.
Early Mafia 5 manufacturing can be to keep away from errors Hangar 13 made up to now
Hangar 13 is at present trying to fill the place of an Govt Producer at its Brighton, England studio. The producer can be answerable for “a key franchise” and “play an important half within the profitable supply of a significant new title, together with post-launch content material and future franchise planning.”
The sport remains to be unannounced, so it’s attainable that it doesn’t have something to do with the Mafia franchise. That stated, Schreier reported in Might 2022 that Nick Baynes, the president of Hangar 13, was “aiming to green-light a sequel to Nero whereas it’s growth,” with (Mission) Nero being the codename for the subsequent Mafia recreation. That is in order that its staff can stay intact as soon as Mafia 4 is completed, as a substitute of being awkwardly displaced when the sport is finished — a mistake that Hangar 13 had made up to now.
From what we all know up to now about Mafia 4 (or regardless of the subsequent Mafia recreation might be referred to as), it’s reportedly a prequel set in Sicily within the late nineteenth to early twentieth century and can observe the Don Salieri Household. As reported final 12 months, the discharge date remains to be “just a few years away,” that means we might see it arrive in 2024 or 2025.
