2K Games is readying its lineup for Gamescom and decided to tweet what they have in store for the event. Amongst their lineup are the usual suspects — The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, NBA 2K14, WWE 2K14 — but the end of their list revealed that they have a surprise which they plan on unveiling later this month in Germany.

While anyone’s guess is as good as the next, there seems to be an overwhelming consensus that 2K is planning on lifting the curtains on a next-gen Mafia 3. With rumors having cropped up last year about the game’s home at 2K Czech and push from current gen systems to next gen, there’s a fair bit of (possibly legitimate) data backing this outcome. Also, it was said that 2K Czech and Rockstar decided to share tech with each other, meaning we may see the Mafia series taken to all new levels of sophistication and complexity.
We’ll know for sure once Gamescom kicks off, but until then keep checking back for more info as this story develops.
I personally hope they are announcing the next “The Darkness” game. That would be really awesome.
