    Exclamation 2K Response about May 31st Release Date + Cenega explains what happened

    2K has responded with the following about the May 31st Release Date:
    We do not comment on Internet rumors.
    Now Cenega has also commented:

    Cenega now known to Eurogamer.cz there, is 31 May only an estimate. In addition, we apologize for having caused confusion. Product Manager David added the throat from 2K Games that the real release date but will be unveiled soon.

    That would be nice if Cenega is right about it being revealed soon. Even if it is a rumour, it sounds like a reasonable date.

    I can't believe 2K came up with a *fluffy* answer.

    "We do no comment on Internet rumors". BIG LOL!!!

    Exactly what "comment" has 2K ever made about Mafia 2 in the first place? In 5 years of development, we've had a handful of pix, a couple of videos, and a forum full of angry users.

    I wouldn't consider myself an angry user and I'm not upset with 2K, however, I do have a feeling that Cenega may have been telling the truth. It seems like a valid leak. I can't imagine why an official distributor would lie about the release date and then cover it up later by saying they made a mistake. I don't see how they could have mistakenly given out the release date.

    From what I assume (and this is only speculation), I'd say they released that date which was correct while they thought that 2K was ready to release the information. 2K contacted them and reprimanded them for doing so, then Cenega apologized and said that they were "mistaken." Personally, I believe this could be the actual release date.

    For some reason I do not trust this commnet "unveiled soon" at all...2K's definition of soon needs some updating....The so called goodies are coming our way soon for quite some time along with the new trailer on the comunitty...


    SOON-2 or 3 weeks tops

    i hope its not released in may. i get laid off on winters and have a lot of time to kill and would have spent $70+USD on mafia II for sure but if it comes out in may i will be back to work putting in long weeks away from home throughtout spring summer and fall so i might as well wait for next winter when i can get the game for $30USD.

    Did you let 2K borrow Mafia 2? xD Darnit Charles, why didn't you just give us all Mafia 2 a year ago instead of letting 2K borrow? Now we'll never see it!

    Why do people keep saying this... the game hasn't been in physical development for five years. The official announcement of it being developed was about halfway through 2007. Previously to that, all they did was work on the script and the story. So it hasn't even been three years since they announced it which is a good time frame to create a game in.

    Your wrong! It wasn't ANNOUNCED till 2007. It was first announced by Dan that it was in development then the past few years they were making the Illusion Engine. So yes it has taken 5 years..

    That's what I said. The announcement of its being in development was in 2007. I'm sure that they'll be using the Illusion Engine for something else and not specifically for Mafia 2 so I wouldn't put that in the same category. Although it is possible, I just don't see why they would take so long to design an engine that they would only use on one game.

    Edit: If you want to get more technical and include the script writing, then its been in "development" since Mafia 1 first released for the PC in 2002. So its been almost eight years. xD

    Again it was announced by Dan in 2003 that they were working on Mafia 2: http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=99480

    There just wasn't a trailer to go with it...

    Haha, its funny how they say that its expected to come out for PC, Xbox, and PS2 . But yeah, I never read that article before so I agree with you that the development of Mafia 2 was underway. The article doesn't mention whether they were working on the script or the physical programming of it or not though. Jack mentioned that the creation and refinement of the script took six months but its still likely that they were working on it long before the trailer came out in 2007.

    Oh well. I've been waiting 7-8 years since the first Mafia came out so I can wait a few more months (hopefully). A late May - early June release still seems like the most reasonable.

    Well I personally think they'll announce the date at E3 which is on June 15th so they can build hype. Personally either we'll see a date in the end of July or in Fall....

    Don't they usually announce a release date 2-3 months before they actually release the game? If they announced it in the middle of June, then we wouldn't see it until August or September.

    That wouldn't make sence! It's more smarter to build hype at e3 for everyone to get excited for the game...
