2K Games has announced today that it is bringing Mafia 2 to "next generation consoles" (i.e. 360 and PS3) and PC. A release date has yet to be revealed.

Once again developer Illusion Softworks is behind the wheel to bring us a crime-rife fictional 1940s city with a seedy mob underbelly. Promised this time around are more gunfights and car chases than we can wave a Tommy Gun at, plus a strong story told by believable characters in a strong, cinematic style.
