Mafia III Reportedly Coming to Next-Gen Consoles in 2013/14

According to 2K insider sources close to Eurogamer.cz, Mafia III is currently in development at 2K Czech for the next-generation PlayStation and had been planned as a next-gen launch title.

Apparently, the next-gen open-world gangster threequel had been slated to release alongside the launch of the next wave of consoles, but following staff cuts at 2K Czech, it's now highly unlikely that the game will make the next-gen cut. Reports put the game's release somewhere around 2013/2014, while the studio attempts to fill 11 positions to work on its next "AAA title".

Should the Mafia III rumours prove true, that also means that the next-generation PlayStation (PlayStation 4?) is also on the cards for a late 2013 launch. That of course remains to be seen however, and as with all rumours, we'll be taking this Mafia III talk with a pinch of salt, lest we end up sleeping with the fishes.

  • Lets hope this isn't as mediocre as the last one.
  • hmm,me thinks its time todust off my cyber copy of MafiaII to get ready
  • Mafia 2 was awesome, but it didn't really have side missions. Pretty short, but it was fun.
  • I liked the story and the setting and stuff in Mafia 2, bu there was nothing to do beside the story. If they fix that, I will buy it :)
  • Mafia II was pretty good. I was very disappointed with the way the PS3 version was clearly inferior to the xbox so I only ended up renting it but it's certainly worth picking up for £10
  • I can't wait for the PS4... The PS3 has started to become dated in my opinion, nothing more they can do with it now with the likes of Uncharted 3 been released for example. Can't top it anymore. Roll on the PS4, FRESH'N'UP !
  • yes, i now just hope they will continue the story of vito and that they won't introduce another protagonist.
  • @6 Taktikzade I'm not even close to being done with my PS3.
  • So happy as I absolutely loved Mafia 2. One of my favourite games of 2010. Also, any playstation news is good news to me...not that we particularly need another one I just like buying consoles. Sony fanboy and all that :)
  • awesome, but won't get it to later as still got loads of games to get/play on my PS3
  • I still haven't played Mafia II yet.
  • @ 11 your missing out on a great game. I loved it. still have the dlc to do but can't wait for 3.
  • I loved mafia II, don't care whatbother ppl say about it. Can't wait for III, not too jumpy about buying a new console but we got time for that later.
  • Definitely good news I hope it gets released 2013 , Next-Gen can wait ...so loved and finished Mafia 2 ( DLC was meh still need to do it lol ) please do not 159 wanted posters collectibles this time around . Didn't mind the Playboy Mag collectibles tho =D
  • I loved Mafia 2...got it when I bought my PS3, and it was my first plat :) can't wait til Mafia 3 gets here....must buy for me, also means Im getting a PS4 then...damn, lol
  • mafia 2 was awesome... nice collectibles too lol... hope they have similar ones in mafia 3! a day 1 buy for me
  • I like how I hear all this talk about new games coming for the next-gen systems, when on my PS3 I can name a handful of games that fill HALF of a bluray disc (all exclusives, btw). Are you telling me that they CAN'T make Mafia 3 on PS3 be WAY better than part 2, with WAY more content? Yeah, my @$$...
  • I hope those affected by the staff cuts were those jerks who thought it was cool to make us look for 159 wanted posters,do 1,000 miles and work on earning 1,000,000 points. And the 11 vacant positions get filled up with sensible-unsadistic game designers/developers who know that there is a better life without having to grind for games...
