Take-Two og deres 2K Games meddeler, at de er i fuld færd med at lukke deres Prag-studie, der stod bag Mafia II og har formodes og rygtedes at arbejde på en efterfølger til del. En del af de ansatte hos Illusion Softworks (som studiet hed tidligere) bliver overført til Take-Twos andet tjekkiske udviklerstudie i Brno.
Hvad lukningen betyder for et eventuelt Mafia III vides ikke, men umiddelbart lyder det ikke som gode nyheder for serien. CVG har fået en kommentar fra 2K Games, der lyder:
"We have relocated and consolidated our 2K Czech team from our Prague facility to centralise resources in our Brno studio. Additionally, we are transferring some development resources from both Prague and Brno to 2K headquarters in Novato, California. This transition will both strengthen the integration of the 2K Czech team with our award winning development teams, and better align cross-functional business practices. As part of this realignment, we are adjusting our staffing levels, resulting in the elimination of some positions."
