- A new Mafia game is currently in the works at Hangar 13.
- The team has hired a new Narrative Director for the series, and she brings experience from studios like DICE, Telltale Games, etc.
- Hangar 13’s Mafia series is famous for its stories, so the Narrative Director has big shoes to fill.
Following the exciting comeback of Hangar 13’s popular IP with the launch of Mafia: The Old Country, fans are more enthusiastic about the series than ever before. Currently, the team is also working on a new project, something which has been recently reiterated by a voice actor.
In the latest development regarding this project, a new key developer has joined Hangar 13 to assist with the development of the upcoming Mafia title.
Why it matters: Mafia: The Old Country saw a solid reception, and it even put up decent numbers on sales charts during its launch month.
Emily Grace Buck recently announced that she will soon join Hangar 13 as the Narrative Director for Mafia.
The developer will oversee the narrative direction of the entire IP, effectively leading the direction for the next big mainline title once she joins the studio, starting from June later this year.
Emily Grace Buck brings years of narrative directing experience to Hangar 13. The developer has previously worked at the likes Dice, Ubisoft, and Telltale Games on various projects.
Her latest work includes the narrative direction for Battlefield 6 as part of DICE. In particular, the developer has contributed to the game’s evolving live-service narrative across the many seasons that have been released so far.
The developer now has big shoes to fill, but because Emily Grace Buck is far from inexperienced in this department, the series seems to be in good hands. The Mafia games are famous for their stories and characters, and if Emily Grace Buck’s track record is any sign, future entries will be no exception.
Not much else is currently known about the next Mafia title, but more information should arrive as the project matures. For now, it remains in the early stages of development.
