We haven't heard anything whatsoever from the Mafia franchise ever since its third entry came and went a few years back on PlayStation 4. Mafia III was a decent game, but it looks like developer Hanger 13 might be getting another attempt with a fourth game in the franchise if a series of recently registered trademarks are to be taken seriously.
As spotted by website Segment Next, two trademarks have been filed with the simple name of "Mafia". Could this be a reboot of the franchise? A name like that would certainly suggest so, but the trademarks are actually accompanied by a third for Mafia II. The PlayStation 3 game, originally released in 2010, received a much better critical reception than its follow-up, leading us to believe that this could signal a potential remaster of the title. If the two projects do indeed exist, it's debatable whether the studio would hold off on these announcements if there's any possibility of a PS5 version.
Would you be interested in a remaster of Mafia II and a new entry in the franchise? Plan a heist in the comments below.

I enjoyed Mafia 3 despite its flaws so I'd be down for a sequel. I'd also buy a mafia 2 remaster
Oooh yes please!
I actually think I prefer Mafia III to the 2nd one.
None of the games in the series are amazing, but it is a series that I love and all of them have great stories and standout moments.
3rd person crime games like this are probably my favourite type of game, and we don't get anywhere near enough of them.
A mafia 4 would be great but I would prefer if they ditched the revenge style plot from 3.
Yes please, great stories and Mafia 2 had the best collectibles in a videogame ever. Them playboy magazines, you can bet I got that trophy for collecting all of 'em 😌👌
I would buy Mafia 2 remaster....and Mafia 4 if it’s back to the 20’s 30’s or 40’s....not that 💩 that was Mafia 3
I tried playing Mafia 3, but just couldn't get into it, so I'm on the fence about a Mafia 4. I'd totally buy a Mafia 2 remaster though. I've always felt that was a super underrated game.
Halfway through playing Mafia III and it's an enjoyable game, although I'd like to see them step up the mission design if they made a fourth one.
mafia 4 set in 90s might be good or complete reboot either way no problem only they have to make sure its better optimized and mission structure,better ai.
Please be set in the 80's. I wanna do a hit to the sounds of Duran Duran.
If it is its probably not being developed byHangar 13. Its been highly speculated and rumored for a while that 2k has them working on next Bioshock. Of course 2 devs teams are possible with 2k money
I'd be interested in a fourth one. I'd love if they would remaster the 1st one as well.
They need to make a proper open world with more content in it. The concept of the franchiuse is good but feels empty I had to force myself top finish the last game.
They’ve got their work cut out for them then, because I did not like Mafia 3 at all. Played the first 3-5 hours and was thought the gameplay was pretty lackluster. The combat encounters were fine, but the rinse and repeat missions and bland open world didn’t sit well with me at all. Uninstalled it and traded it in while it was still worth a decent bit.
Great! I enjoyed Mafia 3... very repetitive so I didnt play for many hours straight. Overall it was good so i'm looking forward for a new mafia game. Hopefully they add a bit more variation in missions designs.
Mafia 3 got boring pretty quickly, but I wouldn't mind a 2 remaster. What are the chances the Playboy collectibles would remain intact though?
That's some good news. Only played the last installment, but quite enjoyed it.
@Frigate 64 points. I think you like this idea!
But which mafia actually makes the Mafia games?
Mafia 4? Vegas 1960-62 and more like Mafia 2 than 3 is my wish.
