A few days after Take-Two Interactive's confirmation of a sequel for the mobster game Mafia, 2K Games has released an official announcement for Mafia 2.

Illusion Softworks, the same guys behind the original Mafia, is currently developing the sequel for next generation video game consoles as well as the Games for Windows platform. Mafia 2 will once again be set in a fictitious late 1940's-early 1950's scenario where players will become entangled in the mob underworld of that era.

The trailer's still nowhere in sight, though, but we'll be on the lookout for that. For now, check out these screenshots from the official Mafia 2 website, which you can access by clicking on the Read link below.

   

Tactical shooter Vietcong is sneaking in through the forest underbrush with a new patch expansion today. Pterodon ad Illusion Softworks are still going strong with their FPS shooter and they're holding the lines with continuous support.

Camouflaged with some black paint and a rifle in hand, the addon brings the game up to "Fist Bravo" v1.1. It's been a while since they came out with their "Fist Alpha" expansion pack, and surely gamers are going to be left to camp out in the cold without some new content and bug fixes in their arsenal.

• Unicode error with French and German etc. Languages
• Missing text in all languages

• reduced weapon stay times to 2.5 mins from 5 to prevent 'weapon graveyards'
• More historical weapon names
• 3pv grenade skins appearing mirrored
• update M67 grenade menu icon
