The Mafia series debuted in 2002, with a sequel arriving in 2010. Six years later, in 2016, Mafia III was released as the first title from 2K's new studio, Hangar 13. The studio had nothing else to share regarding its new Mafia title.
In the blog post, Hladík went on to say, speaking generally about game development, that the studio learns more with every new project. «We learn new stuff, because things keep developing, right? In the early days of Mafia, making games was… I wouldn't say easier, but it was a small team with simpler technology and so on. Games and technology keep developing, so it's all about constant learning,» the developer said.
To celebrate the Mafia franchise's 20th anniversary, 2K is making the original Mafia free on Steam from September 1-5.
