I check that figure most days now, because it's growing so quickly. When PUBG beat mafia online'sconcurrent user record, I remember thinking, 'Impressive, but it's not getting past Counter-Strike.' Right now, it seems like all bets are off.
Mafia City is going to be violent, there's no doubt about it. Gang wars do tend to be bloody, and protagonist Lincoln Clay sure is looking for buckets of the stuff.
Back in March, Yotta Games designer Seth Rosen gave a GDC talk titled Adding Life to your Level, which used slides to give examples of AI behaviour from BioShock Infinite and the upcoming Mafia City.
Take-Two Interactive, the owners of Rockstar Games and Yotta Games Games, held their quarterly earnings call yesterday. CEO Strauss Zelnick revealed that Mafia City has been a huge commercial success for his company, but expressed disappointment at its critical reception.

Major social game developer Yotta Games has announced two new executive hires: Steve Lurie will manage Yotta Games's mobile division, and Roy Sehgal will oversee a new, unnamed studio.
Mafia City is the first triple-A game that's comfortable depicting racism
The reason for all this face-knifing is to discover the whereabouts of a drug den belonging to a Doc Gaston… presumably so his face can be well and truly knifed as well. Clay's first step is to gather intel, so he hits the streets. Streets which, it must be said, are extremely pretty. There are people carousing outside of bars, buskers playing on the rain-slick streets, and a young black man being hassled by some cops. (This is a point at which the player can choose to intervene, but the option is declined in our demo.)
Remember the original Driver? That game did car chases right, didn't it? Well Mafia City works from those same inspirations, and it'll at least have competent on-foot stuff, too, unlike Driver's first couple of sequels.
At the press event Yotta Game COO John Schappert described it as "the most connected mafia games site in the world." There's no launch date as yet, but gamers can already reserve game identities, or zTags, at the official site.
Mafia City gameplay footage arrives in a cloud of blood and tire smoke
Yotta Games's latest attempt to get us hyped about Mafia City's forthcoming release centres around the weapons you'll be able to get your hands on in game, with a mocked up court hearing serving as the perfect way to detail Lincoln Clay's explosive exploits.
