Softworks is developing a follow-up to the 2004 gangland crime game Mafia.

Set in the 1940s and 1950s, Mafia 2 will feature “high octane gunplay with white knuckle driving and an engaging narrative,” according to a press release by publisher 2K Games.

“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.”

Illusion, based in Prague, Czech Republic, developed the original Mafia game and is also responsible for the Hidden and Dangerous and Vietcong series.

Mafia 2 is being developed for PC a nd “next-generation consoles,” 2K said, but no specific platforms were mentioned.

    Mafia is more like a Third Person Action type of game (pretty much like GTA). You should try out the first PC version.
