This might be old news, but it haven't been talked about around here and its dated as of September this year (2004). Recently I've found an Interview of TVG with Illusion Softoworks developers who dropped a very tiny light on Mafia's sequel.

I just hope they'll release it asap. Original mafia was great and I want to see some more of it .

TVG said:TVG: You are very much into the ‘action’ genre. Firstly, do you intend to stick within this area and can we expect to see further additions in the Hidden and Dangerous and possibly Mafia branding?
PV: Yes, we will do only action games in the future, but with all touches of strategy, tactics, adventure, and simulation. And yes, great games deserve sequels and we are working on something.
TVG: Illusionsoftworks, it appears, is very PC focused. What are your current thoughts on the PC market and do you see the console market as being the focus to work within, especially the XBOX?
PV: Both Mafia and Vietcong were released on PS2 and Xbox too, but the design was really very much PC focused. Our plan is to focus on consoles more in the future.

TVG: Could you tell us briefly what games are currently in development at your 5 studios?
PV: Yes, the next Vietcong game is well into production, something with Mafia (I can’t tell what), and one game for the new publisher (will be announced within a few months) and 2 unsigned games. All more or less action genres, but exceptional quality and very strong story lines!

Hitman 38182288 on Mafia World said:I actually got tired of the rumors and called the Gathering Company to ask them about Mafia 2 and according to the public relations guy, he wasn't sure about the progress or if it was going to come out at all but IF it did, it wouls be sometime in 2005. He told me to call him back in December and he would have more details on it.
