Mafia III Developer Hangar 13 Hit by Significant Layoffs

[Shawn Zipay]

It is being reported that development studio Hangar 13 has been hit with a significant number of layoffs today. The only title developed by Hangar 13 was Mafia III, which was released back in 2016. In 2017, 2K Czech was merged with Hangar 13.

2K confirmed the news today in a statement issued to Kotaku.

Though unconfirmed, it seems as though Hangar 13 was working on prototypes for its next title. Mafia III, despite its enormous faults and bugs, had sold over five million copies as of early 2017.
