Rumors: the events of the next Mafia may unfold in Sicily at the beginning of the 20th century

Nick Baker, host of the Xbox Era podcast, spoke about the new details that he learned about the next Mafia. According to an insider, the scene will be Sicily. and the time period will most likely cover the 19th and 20th centuries.

In addition, he learned from his sources that the fourth part of Mafia will be a prequel to the original game and will tell the story of Don Salieri, who was an antagonist in Mafia. Nick Baker believes that the game will return to its roots and will have a linear narrative format, and the atmosphere will be very familiar to fans of this game series.

The development of the fourth licensed part of Mafia is carried out by Hangar 13, who released Mafia III and Mafia: Definitive Edition. The next part of Mafia does not have any specific subtitle and is being developed under the code name Nero. According to rumors, the title is created on the Unreal Engine 5.

The last numbered part of Mafia came out 6 years ago. Then the title was met more or less normally by game journalists and was smashed to smithereens by ordinary players. On the main review aggregator Metacritic, journalists gave the game 62 points out of 100, and users who bought the game - 3.9 points out of 10. The reason for this was the abundance of bugs, as well as not the most interesting plot.
