2K Games announce the follow-up to the critically acclaimed gangster title Mafia

Winning 'Game of the Year' from German games mag 'PC Games' the original Mafia was a big hit for 2K Games and Illusion software in 2002, going on to sell more than two million copies.

The sequel has just been announced aiming for a PC and next generation console release - no target date has been given at this point.

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."
