New Mafia Game is Being Developed with Unreal Engine 5
Mentioned in a job posting last year, the next Mafia game was described as a yet-to-be-announced multiplatform game in pre-production using Unreal Engine 5. Although the game’s pre-production phase suggests it could take a few years before it hits the market, trademark applications suggest the game’s name could be announced soon.
Job postings state that the new Mafia game will feature “interactive stealth and combat gameplay loops.” This represents an evolution from the simple “crawl and stab” stealth dynamics in Mafia 3. According to a report previously published by Kotaku, the new game is expected to be a prequel to the previous series and will take place in 1930s Sicily, under the control of Tommy Angelo. The game will witness the birth of the mafia, years before the events of the first Mafia game.
