Welcome 2K Czech: Take-Two brings Mafia dev Illusion Softworks into the family
7
Take-Two has draped its money hat over Czech Republic developer Illusion Softworks, acquiring the studio best known for its Vietcong, Hidden & Dangerous, and Mafia franchises. The developer, which operates out of both Brno and Prague, will now adopt the less-inspired title of 2K Czech. It's unclear what effect, if any, this will have on the studio's current or future projects, with Take-Two stating only that the developer continues to pound out code for the previously announced Mafia 2, which will ship...someday for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

I really liked the original Mafia, but it took about 1.5 generations of video card releases for me to finally assemble a computer able to run it well... hopefully Mafia 2 is just as cool (and runs better).

I'm pretty sure they did write their own engine.
