Background

2K Czech is the Czech division of 2K. It was initially founded as Illusion Softworks in 1997 by Petr Vochozka and Jan Kudera, and produced some successful games, including Mafia. In January 2008, the studio was purchased by Take-Two Interactive and was integrated into the 2K brand as 2K Czech. In January 2014, the studio's Prague office was closed, leaving the only division in Brno. In 2017, 2K Czech was merged into another 2K studio, Hangar 13.

Logo (August 24, 2010)


Visuals: A pistol quickly flies into view, before slowing down as the camera pans over the pistol slowly. On the pistol's top, the 2K Czech logo is carved into the side of it, which gives off a light blue gleam, and then the camera quickly tilts back from the pistol. The hand holding the pistol fires it, shooting a bullet towards his target: a shadowed mob boss with a cigar lit and a bottle of whiskey with the 2K Games logo on it, and the camera slows down drastically to show a shot of him in the distance. After going back to full speed, the bullet breaks the bottle, causing the camera to become focused on the 2K logo for a brief moment, before quickly sweeping around to reveal a red door. A silhouette of a gang member holding a tommy gun walks into the door, creating a "II" shape as smoke clears away to reveal the Mafia II logo in full.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An ingame-type tense soundtrack with a slowed down sound of shooting.

Availability: Seen on Mafia II.
