We are confident the studio is in great hands heading into the multiple projects currently under way, and the team has 2K’s full support. While change can be challenging, it can also breed new opportunities and success. I hope you’ll join me in thanking Haden and wishing him the best, and congratulating Nick on a well-deserved promotion. He will be replaced by the current studio head at Hangar 13’s Brighton studio, Nick Baynes. Blackman is moving on to an unknown company to “pursue his passion at a new endeavor”.
In an e-mail sent to studio employees and copied to outlets like IGN, Hangar 13 studio head Haden Blackman is stepping down after seven years at the company. This doesn’t mean personnel remains unchanged. Three original IPs - Rhapsody, Volt, and Mosaic - were all reportedly canceled before they’d even been revealed, causing two rounds of layoffs to take place at the studio. The game is a sign the developer is moving away from original projects and back to less risky established franchises. The game is reported to be in the hands of Hangar 13’s Brighton studio according to Kotaku, and will be built using Unreal Engine 5 rather than the Illusion engine that ran Mafia III.
The new Mafia game, tentatively titled Nero, is in the very early stages of development and is intended to be a prequel to the Mafia trilogy.
