The buzz around the developments of Mafia 4 has been heating up for a while now. The Hangar 13 developed Mafia franchise might make a massive announcement soon. At least according to recent job listings by the officials, which hints at solid progress. The recent job listings allegedly reveal a lot of insights on what Mafia 4 might bring to the table. 

The Mafia franchise made its last release in 2016. And since then, there have just been speculations about the possible fourth installment. However, the progress of the pre-production stage of Mafia 4 was unknown until now. A Reddit user has pointed out some job listings by the developers. And the information hints at the setting of Mafia 4.

A major rumor regarding the setting of Mafia 4 is it is a prequel based in Sicily. According to these claims, the next installment would rather focus on the rise of the Mafia in the Hangar 13 world as a narrative. And coincidentally, the job openings hint at something similar.

The last big headline that the Mafia franchise made was when a similar job listing revealed the game’s ongoing pre-production stage. But this latest Reddit user raised the hype to a whole new level.

The highlight of this listing is the fact that makers have emphasized the need for an animator specializing in organic models. 

The relevance of the upcoming narrative 

The most common fan theory suggests that the upcoming project might be based away from city hubs, more into an organic environment. However, there might be a twist involved. 

The developers had announced both the fourth and fifth installments together. Thus, there’s also a high possibility of this listing being associated with the fifth installment rather than Mafia 4. Also, the timeline of the job listing doesn’t sit well with the fourth edition’s alleged pre-production phase.

In any case, gaming fans are looking forward to announcements around the franchise soon. It will be interesting to see which lot of the community stands correct in prediction. Meanwhile, you can make yours in the chat box below.
