Mafia reflects on its own beginnings
For many gamers, the Mafia series a rollercoaster of emotions. The first part from 2002 is a video game classic and its sequel, Mafia 2, also enjoys a high reputation in the community.
Mafia 3, on the other hand, is considered a letdown nor was it commercially a breakthrough for publisher 2K Games. The countless bugs and technical problems made the open-world game a joke on the internet.
The remake of the first part smoothed out the image the ailing row, on the other hand, again something.
Now some time has passed and developer Hangar 13 obviously wants to a restart dare. According to gaming website Kotaku, a new mafia game is in development.
This isn’t a sequel, it’s a prequels, which is supposed to play before the first part. So it is not yet clear whether the next game will be called Mafia 4. Only the project name is currently known: Nero.
In addition, the latest offshoot should no longer use the Mafia 3 engine, but the brand new one Unreal Engine 5 switch.
It remains to be seen whether Kotaku will be right with all this information (source: Kotaku).
What do the mafia games need to do better in the future?
A big point of criticism on the previous mafia parts was always the game world. While the open world in Mafia 2 was just a beautiful backdrop with nothing else to offer, the world of Mafia 3 was filled with the same monotonous tasks over and over again.
A new mafia game has to start here and the players quality side hustles offer. Exciting side missions, well-made mini-games or maybe some kind of economic system to manage organized crime.
Instead of a huge game world with lots of collecting and diligent tasks, the players would certainly prefer a small but well-designed open world.
