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.
Family.

So: what could it mean? 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.
