Granted, “Family” could mean literally anything where mobsters are concerned. All three games have strong ties to family, whether it’s Vito Scaletta’s brotherly relationship with Joe, or Lincoln Clay’s relatives getting gunned down in a pub. Maybe it’s a nice Mother’s Day reminder for American followers. Honestly, it’s too early to tell.

The way I see it, though, there are a few possibilities.PCGamesN reportsrumblings ofMafia IIand III “Definitive Editions”, as per listings on Taiwan’s game rating board. But it’s also been almost four years sinceMafia IIIlanded. There’s every possibility Hanger 13 are gearing up for a fourth mobster romp.

Or, almost every possibility. Last we heard from Hanger 13, the devs had sufferedmassive layoffs, stifling hopes for a follow-up. Rumour at the time was they’d just discarded a musical action game at the time of the layoffs.

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