Take-Two Interactive recently announced it will be firing 5% of its workforce and will also cancel current game projects they’ve been working on. One of the least talked about franchises talked about as of late has been the Mafia series and according to Kurakasis, Take-Two has begun preparations for an announcement regarding the series.
He says the preparations only started a few days ago but doesn’t know the timeframe. Kurakasis also mentions he does not know if it’s related to Mafia 4 or the next-gen update for the Mafia trilogy. Or it could be something unexpected with the Mafia games.
I can tell you that a few days ago, Take-Two began preparations for an announcement regarding the Mafia series
It's hard for me to determine the timeframe, but with Judas I've seen them gearing up for the new trailer about 3-4 weeks before it dropped, so…
Soon™️ 🙂

The last time we received a brand-new Mafia game was in 2016 with Mafia III and since then we only received Definitive Editions for all three games in 2020.
It will be interesting to see what Take-Two could have coming up for the iconic franchise as we all know the company has Grand Theft Auto VI coming up in 2025 as its biggest release. We are less than two months away from Summer Game Fest which will take place on June 7, 2024, where we could see many announcements from all different publishers, especially from 2K Games.
