An announcement and details on the next possible Mafia franchise installment may be coming soon, voice actor, Mafia 2 protagonist Vito Scaletta voice actor, Rick Pasqualone, teased on Twitter recently.
“Might have some Mafia news very soon!” Pasqualone responded to a fan on Twitter. He added there “might have some exciting news very soon” to a fan's demand to “make Mafia 3.”
Rumours surfaced late 2012 that 2K Czech was developing the third installment for PS4 and Xbox One, with the goal of being a launch title for both systems. If true, its development may have been affected when 2K Czech suffered layoffs in 2011 and was massively restructured in early 2014. It is thought that Mafia 3 may take place in an open-world Louisiana, if a casting call from Take-Two last March is to be believed.
