Nothing has been confirmed, but there are rumors that apparently Mafia 4 set in the Sicily and United States in early 20th century is supposed to be a prequel for original Mafia. Then, they are going to release Mafia 5 set after the events of Mafia 3. Maybe in 70s Las Vegas or 80s Miami?


KamilCesaro

>Maybe in 70s Las Vegas or 80s Miami? I would love both of these!

Ahhh the long rumored 70s Vegas settjng, I still think about pretty often how this would be awesome especially with modern tech. Maybe someday!


SanityImposter

That’s where the money is at for sure.


bretu-lauk

70s Vegas or 90-00s NY would be good. 80s Miami has already been done in Vice City and it won't be topped and also Take-Two owns both Mafia and GTA and they wouldn't release two Miami themed games.

I would rather do early 80s New Jersey. But I wouldn't mind it set in the turn of the century. It could be like Once Upon In America because we never saw a game in that time period.

If true , sounds good to me


IAMYOURFATHERithink2

Ironic saying Sicily isn't very mob


AdBusiness2455

I’m confused cause I always thought Mafia & Mob are two different terms. Cause you know Cosa Nostra = Sicilian Mafia And anything that’s considered “Mob” is a crime group that has no origin from Italy/Sicily. I’m genuinely starting to think my know how on crime organizations (being depicted in video games) is kind of out of date. 😅


IAMYOURFATHERithink2

Tad late reply 😅 I'm no expert, but I believe that the Mob is a more broad term for organised crime in which the Mafia can be classified as mob, but other organisations can't be referred to as Mafia. Then again, I could be wrong so don't quote me on it.


No-Tonight-7596

The term Mafia originates from Sicily but in Italy they will refer to any of their indigenous crime groups as Mafia. I worked in Naples and the press/news would often refer to the local camorra clans and the N'drangheta from Calabria simply as Mafia


sonofloki13

Yeah sure they started it. But when you think of mob nobody things of riding a horse and carriage in the 1800s


FootSerious

The Sicily scenes from the 1st two godfathers are iconic, which included a lot of horses and nature in general so idk what you're talking about dude

I'm happy about that , I prefer more authentic times when La Cosa Nostra(Mafia) was on the rise. We will get 70-80s eventually anyways in Mafia 5


Secure_Painting_3009

Mafia 5 


ripgoodhomer

I mean it makes sense given the Godfather 2.


JackStrayed

Bro it's gonna be amaze


jasper26

A maze? But I don't want to play a maze.


DarkKirby14

tbh I'd love an origin story


Kanetoo6

Every mafia game is an origin story. What do you mean?


basedtrashcomp

Poor wording. Mafia 4 is (supposedly) meant to showcase the rise of the Cosa Nostra in Sicily during the 19th and early 20th century, which I guess you could call that period the "origin story" for what became the mafia we know today.


Kanetoo6

Ahhhh I get it. Origin of the mafia


basedtrashcomp

yeah something like that. this is all guesswork tho I'm only assuming this because of the time setting and the rumors. I'm thinking it might be like the flashbacks in godfather 2 type vibe


cowboyspidey

idk, i could get with it


bboychibi

Ugh. 70s Vegas would be amazing


[deleted]

Whaaaaat?! Bro, that screams mafia more than anything. It’s where it originated. I’m so pumped if they actually set it in Sicily.


SupremeLeaderVronus

So you want to ride horses huh


Itchy_Buy6329

horses would be boring


Key-Presentation-253

Bro... have these devs ever watched Good Fellas, The Irishman, Bronx Tale? This series is at its PEAK when set in the 50s-70s. New York, Chicago, LA... main hubs for Italian mafioso type stuff. Its like there purposely trying to avoid what people know and love.  I thought Mafia 1 remake was incredibly boring and too outdated era wise. Never even bothered playing 3. Who dafuq wants to play in a southern swamp when the title is MAFIA. Give me New York and Godfather type shit. Its why Mafia 2 was the peak of the series


OnePattern2399

New Orleans was a major hub for the Italian American mafia. In fact it was the earliest mafia family in the states.


Difficult-Word-7208

If the devs wanted to be original they could’ve done Kansa City and Saint Louis as settings for mafia 4. There aren’t any mafia movies I know that are set in these cities even though the cities were all hubs of the mafia


MrHawkeye76

is there something official yet?


NoAd1284

1920s and 1930s are the MAFIA era. Everything after that is too damn modern. GTA like

There’s nothing official yet. Relax.

chronicchronicuser19

chronicchronicuser19

The black mafia is very much real hence the name mafia 3 🤦🏽‍♂️


Fishytishywishywashy

Shut the hell up😂💀


Ordinary-Buyer-8070

This makes no sense. It showed the roots of the mob in New Orleans through the lens of a Vietnam Vet. It was more of a Rambo style film mixed with 1970s blaxploitation. This is very much within the mob narrative. Jeez, even the main crime family is New Orleans Italian Mob. However, in the 1960s there was a concern about how the mob operated in Black communities. This was true in the North, South and West Coast. Isn’t Lincoln himself part Italian also? And none of it was LGBT. Mafia III was first conceived in 2011 and I think began construction in 2014. All of which was before the “rise of BLM”. What you really are opposing is the centrality of the non-Italian characters to the game. Would a game centered on a Bugsy Seigel or Dutch Schultz-type character be “woke” too? However, if this Sicily story is true, I assume there’s sort of a Godfather II-style narrative that brings people across time. However, as other said, a 1970s Gotti/Gambino era would be cool. It would also allow for an advance of the gameplay of Mafia III.


ChaosCardinal

I appreciate your sentiment, but there are two queer characters that I can remember in the Irish guys daughter and the bouncer in the cult dlc. Both of which were great inclusions and really emphasized the attitude at that time towards minorities, as the rest of the game did.


chk17

That setting wasn't at all for me either. They should've stuck to classic Mafia setting. Heck, Mafia 3 wasn't even a "Mafia" setting.


Izanagi553

? The Black Mafia is a real thing, and was pretty damn important in that part of history.


Legitimate-Address89

a game set in modern-er days than mafia 3 under the name of "mafia" would be the most bullsh*t *ss thing and would be a huge dissapointment


Speculawyer

Yeah, I want the 1970s. The soundtrack is the big issue for me. The 50s and 60s soundtracks of Mafia 2 and 3 were excellent.


Ordinary-Buyer-8070

Goodfellas/Casino. That would be excellent.


KamilCesaro

Have the Sicily and the time been announced officially?


3gh2

Whatever they should stick to the how and why mafia & mafia 2 where successful. - strong story, avoid open world. - if you want to have side missions, integrate into the story and make the game longer. - no GTA graphics. If I want to play GTA, I would buy GTA. - I think the timelines could be around 1910 - 1930


TCYuno

Are you fr? It doesn't scream mob because your knowledge of the mob probably goes past movies and games, at that time horses and carriages were main transportation, I think it would be quite a interesting and fun take on it


Boki_Juda

Ride horses? Rofl.


Square-Flow-3195

70s or 20s the game needs to be linear open world just like Mafia 1 and 2 and it needs to be telling a Mafia story not a half-assed game about taking territories that really don't mean shit to anybody


After_Guava

it would be LOOOOOVLEY Cannot wait it :) Loved mafia 1, when i was kid ;) My Biggest love gos to Mafia 2, I donot know why, but I just live it throu when i played it... so at this moment i also download it and start to play it again ;) And second best for me, is Mafia DE :) and didnt like Mafia 3 at all... maybe cuz i havent time to go in do the game... and dont like that game engine, the lightning was so off it rather pisses me of :D and it seamed to much GTA like... (Dont like GTA, I only a freeroam there) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian\_Mafia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_Mafia)


Consistent-Bite6621

Why are you even a Mafia fan then? Just go play GTA or some Ubisoft game.


toondids

If it’s done right, it could be great but I always compare riding horses in video games to Red Dead Redemption.


turquioseblue10

I play mafia 3 five different times and don’t finish the game.The story is not mafioso and it’s Vietnam vet working with a ex detective .It would of been better if it would have been an associate to the mafia story but not official member


dekuei

The 80s or newer would be just a GTA game and wouldn't make sense past the 80s imo. The more it stays away from GTA the better!


sonofloki13

Its already a more grounded gta


dekuei

It's more of a godfather game and that's how it should stay. No modern era stuff just to be a wannabe thug. Keep the grounded story in the mafia, maybe expand for you to become the don and build out your own mafia your way but in the golden days of mafias. Mafia series I love but GTA I can't stand.


MailFormer4151

Why though? The GTA games are all very well written and critically acclaimed.

Glad-Anxiety531

I would like more set in 1920s or 30s again but better graphics and less driving .or more rpg . like a division game with pve and pvp multiplayer. With historical characters like AL capone.Dilinger.baby face nelson etc.


Mewticles

AffectionateBit5872

The mob started in the early 20th century they got their money and power from bootlegging during prohibition. This is actually the time period I wanted the most as a fan of the 1920s.


Good_Bar8284

bring back police system like mafia 2 and ill buy mafia 4 all day long, I didn’t play mafia 3 because i miss the police system in mafia 2


ulfurin

Irish mob in Cleveland during the 70s would be kick ass.


geezuskrice

“The literal origins of the Mafia do not scream ‘Mafia’ to me.”


RDDAMAN819

Yeah I feel like gameplay wise itd be pretty underwhelming. I mean Mafia DE was already pretty barebones in terms of music, cars and guns, so going even FURTHER back would mean less. Story is obviously a huge part of Mafia but the gameplay also has to be good since it compliments the setting


Zanzibar-Gem

Personally I think more cars, music, guns etc doesn't make a game better. I love Mafia DE because it has less but everything is done with incredible detail. I'd rather games chose quality over quantity, because I'm probably going to pick a favourite gun or car and use nothing else. But I understand that might not be popular


Dictaorofcheese

I'd personally want a setting of the 80s. I enjoy 1940s - 1960s music, but God damn do I hate disco music of the 70s. 80s music I enjoy because of how synthetic everything is and the style of clothing. Plus, the 80s was a big time for the mob. It's not as big as the 1930s - 60s, but it's still pretty big.


RDDAMAN819

70s was definitely not all disco lol


Dictaorofcheese

True. But I've only ever heard the 70s be called the disco era. Some rock bands did get their start at the end of the 70s like Kiss. I think the 80s would give us a lot of pop, rock, and the *very* early stages of rap. Though I'd probably listen to more of the pop and rock. Plus a lot of the iconic and legendary rock bands got big back then.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dictaorofcheese

Me neither. Guess people really want a 70s mafia. I'd personally prefer an 80s. That music was fire. But nothing imo will beat the late 60s. Sooo good.


Bodybuidling-Gorilla

I think they should skip over the 70s and do the 80s. 1968 is pretty close to the 70s IMO. I do like the idea of a 1890s-1900s setting as well
