Mafia teases a return after two years of prison radio silence

Mafia is again on-line. Two years after its final put up, longer nonetheless because the final piece of Mafia III DLC got here and went, the open-world crime ’em up’s Twitter account has poked the hornet’s nest by tweeting out one phrase earlier at the moment. Are they teasing a sequel? Lining up for a remaster? Or is that this only a quiet love of familial bonds from an internet model? Right now, it’s anybody’s guess.

God, I want I might depart Twitter for all of two minutes, by no means thoughts two years. Good for you, Mafia. Their fleeting return to Jack Dorsey’s hellsite was marked by a single phrase, tweeted earlier this afternoon.

Family.

Granted, “Family” might imply actually something the place mobsters are involved. All three games have sturdy ties to household, whether or not it’s Vito Scaletta’s brotherly relationship with Joe, or Lincoln Clay’s family members getting gunned down in a pub. Maybe it’s a pleasant Mother’s Day reminder for American followers. Honestly, it’s too early to inform.

The approach I see it, although, there are a couple of prospects. PCGamesN reports rumblings of Mafia II and III “Definitive Editions”, as per listings on Taiwan’s game score board. But it’s additionally been virtually 4 years since Mafia III landed. There’s each risk Hanger 13 are gearing up for a fourth mobster romp.

Or, virtually each risk. Last we heard from Hanger 13, the devs had suffered massive layoffs, stifling hopes for a follow-up. Rumour on the time was they’d simply discarded a musical motion game on the time of the layoffs.

Fair play, I’d be effectively up for Mafia: Bugsy Malone.
