2K Games Announces Mafia 2

Highly anticipated sequel to deliver Hollywood movie style action and gameplay

New York, NY - August 21, 2007 - 2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), today announced that it will publish Mafia 2, a sequel to the original Mafia title that sold more than two million copies worldwide and helped popularize the gangster genre. Featuring a deep mobster-driven narrative packed with both behind-the-wheel and on-foot action, Mafia 2 is the sequel fans have been clamoring for. The game is being developed by Illusion Softworks, developers of the original Mafia title, for next generation consoles and Games for Windows®.

Like the original Mafia title, Mafia 2 immerses players in the mob underworld of a fictitious late 1940's-early 1950's scenario. Players will easily become engaged in the game's cinematic Hollywood movie experience with strong, believable characters in a living, breathing city. By fusing high octane gunplay with white knuckle driving and an engaging narrative, Mafia 2 looks to be the industry's most compelling Mafia title to date.

"As the original Mafia was a big success, we are excited to leverage the power of next generation console technology to create an all-new experience, while embracing the elements that resonated with the previous game's fans," said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. "The 'wow' factor of Mafia 2 is definitely the benchmark-setting visual quality and action that you expect to see only in Hollywood movies."

One game I am definitely looking forward to, I cannot wait to get my hands on this game, and I can only hope my PC will be able to run it in any way. If not... time to get a console

But if the port will be as bad as PS2 port of the first Mafia, there is little choice

That game was a typical example of devvers not bothering with delivering a good port. If a PS2 can pull off San Andreas, then Mafia shouldn't be a problem. That game looked more a like a PS1 game with texture filtering, and this time I am NOT exaggerating

And MM, we'll chat soon enough, just been occupied with a good book and a PSP lately.

Looking forward to this, the original was so much better than I thought it was going to be.

Good news, this game might be closer by than most think. One person who has read quite a few Czech interviews said Illusion stated they'll deliver another game in 2007. Perhaps a date will be given in Leipzig, I certainly hope so!
