A group of developers whose credits include the two Mafia games recently left 2k Czech to form Warhorse Studios. The company has begun work on its first game, an open-world RPG using the Crytek engine.

Along with Mafia, the developers' credits also include Operation Flashpoint. Warhorse Studios also employs Martin Klima, author of the pen-and-paper RPG, Dragon's Lair.

For those who were hoping for future Mafia installments, you may be in luck. Rumors are pointing to a third Mafia game being developed, although without the team from the first two games.

Let's hope it's not generic.

Without the team from the first to games? I'm a bit nervous now ಠ_ಠ. Anyways, good luck with the game Warhorse Studios!

These are the spiteful homo hating slavs that make boring generic mob movies correct?

Operation Flashpoint wasn't particularly good... was it? I wouldn't get too excited just yet.
by crimsonbrony Thursday, February 09, 2012 at 03:03 PM

Some mild interest has been generated.

If it is a Mafia game, I hope it is actually an open world game where you can choose what you do. The last one was kind of a big open world, but you were very strictly directed through it.

Open world...RPG...crytek...sounds good to me.
by Velimir Thursday, February 09, 2012 at 03:09 PM

Cryengine 3 + RPG + Open world = AWESOMENESS Hope they succeed in their vision.

Hope it's a fantasy RPG. I can't get enough of them ^^

To quote Mafia2: WHAT THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH YOU!? Leaving 2K I mean. an open world, crytek3 RPG would be pretty awesome.

Mafia 3? Mafia 2 was a huge dissapointment and the magazines in the game were unnecessary.
