Mafia 4 is taking place outside America, and new job descriptions confirm
Within the past couple of days, several jobs have been posted online, suggesting that the upcoming Mafia-related game is set outside of America. Following the news published by Reddit, people started to think about it.
Hangar 13, developer of Mafia 4, has begun advertisement for Senior 3D artists who will focus specifically on “organic art & landscapes, Unreal engine.” The ad declares that the candidate must be able to design “assets for a AAA game in a large-scale virtual environment with a focus on organic models.”
The description continues, “He/she defines, develops and maintains high-end-run game environments and contributes to the new Mafia franchise game.” We can be that they’ve been employed to help with a Mafia-themed game.
The most crucial wording of this is “organic models.’ If in an urban area, there would be less emphasis on creating national 3D models. It’s possible, however, that the game may still take place in America; however, it would be far from crucial cities of the mafia’s history. But, those who love the game have speculated that this could be a prequel in Sicily and depicts how the mafia has grown.
A comment suggests the game might have been played in “the mafia’s dog days when they were ruthlessly hunted by a troop of elite soldiers on orders of Benito Mussolini.”
The list should be taken with a grain of salt. Based on the period, Mafia 4 could still take place in the US; however, it could depict the early days of the grassroots of the mafia before moving to a city-based location. It’s also worth noting that the games Mafia 4 and Mafia 5 were announced earlier, and there’s a good chance Hangar 13 is hiring for Mafia 5, the fifth installment.
If it does not, it is at least transparent that we know that Mafia 4 is currently in development, and we may get footage in the not-far future.
