Mafia Wars 2 is now available to play on Facebook, Zynga has announced. The sequel has launched in 16 languages, more than any other Zynga game on day one.
Built by the team that created the original Mafia Wars game, Mafia Wars 2 draws inspiration from the dark side of the original title. The game’s described as a story-driven, social experience where players must rise up, get revenge, and build the largest crime empire the world has ever seen.
Fresh out of prison, players are welcomed back by their crime boss and handed a new turf to own and run. After getting back on their feet, players are soon betrayed and must embark on a mission of revenge to seize control of what’s rightfully theirs.
“Our goal with Mafia Wars 2 was to build on the Mafia Wars franchise in a way that feels familiar to our loyal players, yet provides a brand new world of criminal mischief to explore,” said Erik Bethke, general manager, Mafia Wars 2. “The game makes fighting a visceral, social experience and wraps it in a story and art style that we think our players will love. Believe us when we say that Mafia Wars 2 is unlike anything Zynga has released before. We can’t wait to let our players in on the social mayhem.”
Mafia Wars 2 is available now on Facebook in 16 languages (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Turkish, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Japanese and Thai).
