History of Mafia Series (2002 2020), 4 K Video

Mafia is a series of actionadventure games originally created and developed by 2K Czech (formerly Illusion Softworks). Since the third installment, however, the games are developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K Games. The franchise consists of three mainline installments, along with a remake of the first game, a remastered version of the second game, and two spinoffs for mobile devices. A fourth game is in active development. Games in the Mafia series are set in fictional locales modeled after real American cities, and typically feature historical settings, from Great Depressionera Lost Heaven in the first game, to 1960s New Bordeaux in Mafia III. Gameplay focuses on an open world environment where players complete missions to progress an overall story, as well as engage in various side activities, albeit in a more linear manner than other open world series such as Grand Theft Auto. However, most of the games include a bonus Free Ride mode, which allows players to trigger missions from the open world. T
