We have had confirmation that Mafia 4 is in development at Hangar 13 only recently, but apparently, there is already talk of Mafia 5 in the study in question, since the next chapter seems to have already been planned, although obviously, it has not yet started a real production.
According to Jason Schreier, a well-known Bloomberg journalist, with the inauguration of the new president of the team, Nick Baynes, there has been a renewed desire to focus on the series in question, with the desire to already submit the first project for Mafia 5 for the attention of publishers.
Obviously, the timing will still be very long and the move is at least reckless, but it still demonstrates the will of the new manager to focus on the Mafia series, six years after the release of the last chapter, Mafia III, and despite the organizational problems experienced. from Hangar 13 which has undergone several layoffs.
Based on what emerged from the projects underway at the team, it seems that before Mafia 4 it could be the turn of Top Spin 5, one of the two projects underway at Hangar 13, while the other has the code name “Nero” and it seems to refer to the Mafia series.
