After two years of silence, the official Mafia Twitter account tweets one word "Family." News by Vikki Blake Contributor Updated on 11 May 2020 48 comments The official Mafia account has woken up after almost two years of silence and tweeted a single word: "Family." Initially, I wondered if the tweet was merely recognising that today is Mother's Day (don't panic UKers - ours was back in March), but given the account hasn't acknowledged any other Mother's Days - or Father's Days, for that matter - I'm inclined to think there's a little more to it than coincidence.

Is there a new instalment in the offing, or are we finally getting that Mafia II remaster everyone wants (seriously: check out the replies to that tweet to see what I mean). Clearly, it's not much to go on - and it's not easy to draw any meaningful conclusion from a single word - but with next-gen so close we can almost touch it, it's very possible we'll find out more in the weeks and months to come. As Bertie revealed a little while back, Mafia 3's documentary-style montage opening wasn't always going to start the game. Once upon a time Mafia 3 had a far more explosive start, a 'cold open' sequence to play out before the opening montage. It was controversial stuff - so sensitive, in fact, developer Hangar 13 scrubbed it from existence lest footage ever get out.
