Mafia: The Old Country Actress Claims A New Mafia Game Has Already Been Greenlit

"Mafia: The Old Country seems to have performed pretty well for developer Hangar 13 and publisher 2K, with an estimated 1.2 million copies sold. That may not sound like much, but the game was a smaller project and 2K themselves stated they were happy with its "strong" performance. So pleased, in fact, that another Mafia game may already have been greenlit. That's what actress Carina Conti, who plays Isabella Torrisi in the game, believes, at any rate."

"On a small Twitch stream, the actress sat in while streamer bubbly_nuggets_ played the game. At the 1:08.35 mark, the actress replies to a viewer's question about the story, mentioning that Hangar 13 "was approved for a sequel, for another Mafia game, which is very exciting." The group then discusses where the story could go and the rest of the Mafia games."

"The same topic is brought up again later, and Conti reiterates that "they were approved for another Mafia game, this is true." If true, this is likely something the actress is not meant to be openly discussing, but it's also excellent news. While not perfect, Mafia: The Country is a strong example of how important smaller projects are in an industry that continues to expand its budgets and development times to insane proportions. I'd love to see another game in the same vein as The Old Country."

Mafia: The Old Country sold an estimated 1.2 million copies and achieved a strong performance relative to its smaller scope. Publisher 2K described the game’s performance as "strong" and expressed satisfaction. Actress Carina Conti, who portrays Isabella Torrisi, stated on a Twitch stream that Hangar 13 was approved for a sequel and later reiterated that approval. The reported approval has not been officially confirmed and, if accurate, underscores the value of smaller-scale projects amid growing industry budgets and longer development cycles.
