Hmm well i looked it up and seems you are correct.MK wrote: Strauss Zelnick (take two) said that Mafia 3 will be released within a few years.
They really forgot about H&D series. I don`t have any illusions.

However, Mafia 1 was released on August 28, 2002, using the same (but obviously heavily tweaked engine) they released hidden and dangerous 2 on October 21, 2003. It is possible they may follow the same route again and make h&D3 using a tweaked mafia 2 engine in between.
I never played mafia 2, but it sounds as if the engine itself was not the weak point of the game.
