Electronic Arts' The Godfather: Blackhand Edition on the Wii and The Godfather: The Don's Edition for the PlayStation 3 was just recently released and it seems as though a sequel is already in the making. Nollenberger Capital Partners (NCP) put together a financial analysis on EA and certain revelations about the company came up.

The biggest one, is the fact that Godfather 2 is already in development. This came out in NCP's analysis which found that the company is actually using the development of the first game as a starting point in five different franchises.

Interestingly, we learned that EA is leveraging the significant amount of development time and costs that went into The Godfather game. The open-world engine was built from the ground up for Godfather, and is now being used by five different franchises, including The Simpsons. Godfather 2 is also in development currently, though timing is unknown.
