This news comes a week after members of the staff denied that Mighty No. 9 would not be delayed, with the announcement being held off until the end of Inafune’s recently failed Red Ash Kickstarter project. According to the update that was released to backers and then posted on NeoGAF, Comcept stated the following “As we have communicated in the updates to our backers, all of the core content for the game is developed and in a complete state. However, there are still bugs and issues pertaining to the online features that are included in the game. These bugs and issues have a direct affect on enjoyment of the game, so a decision was made to work these issues out before release.”

Ever since Mafia II was released back in 2010 2K Games had been extremely quiet about the series ever continuing until late last month when the company revealed that Hangar 13 is indeed working on Mafia III and that they would show it off for the first time during Gamescom.

But when Lincoln’s new family is betrayed and slaughtered by the Italian mob, he becomes fixated on revenge and wages a brutal war against the Italians, disrupting the balance of power in the seedy underworld of New Orleans.
