Take-Two Interactive, parent company of 2KGames, has filed three applications to register trademarks related to the Mafia series. In the first document, the name of the game is written in a font familiar to fans, which is also “flaunted” on the posters of the game. The second “Mafia” logo is set in a standard text font, as if hinting at a new part of the series. The third application mentions Mafia 2, which already gives hope for the release of a remaster.

At the same time, an extension hints at the release of Mafia 4rights to the trademark of the Hagar 13 studio, which developed the ill-fated Mafia 3. The application “flaunts” its updated logo with the mention of four divisions, which also speaks of Take-Two’s serious intentions. In addition, Hagar 13 employees have been working on an AAA project for the second year, judging by the resume of the studio's technical artist Geert De Knodder.
