Within the Mafia Wars Forums News And Announcements Section an update from the Mafia Wars Team has been posted by Super Moderator Dassem Ultor. A duplicate copy has also been posted on the Official Mafia Wars Blog.
Within these announcement postings Zynga is informing us of some features that we will soon see in the Mafia Wars game. They include a well over-due new destination (name not announced yet) and more Operations that will be similar to the Italian Jobs Operations.
Here is a viewing of those original Mafia Wars announcements;
Updates From Mafia Wars Team
Dear Mafia Wars players,
As 2013 gets underway, the entire Mafia Wars team here is excited about the new features we are working on to make your favorite game even more fun, engaging and rewarding. Today, we wanted to share some of our upcoming new features and events that will be launching over the next few months in Mafia Wars:1. Mafia Wars players have been requesting a new city for a while now. We recently published the survey for the next Mafia Wars city. Based on your feedback, we’ll be releasing a brand new city for all of you to enjoy soon. Vote now http://zynga.tm/p1h if you haven’t already.
2. Given the positive response from our player community to the Arena, we will be adding a number of social features: Families will now be able to battle each other and amongst themselves in private rooms and you will be able to challenge rivals or create an instant rematch after finishing an arena. In addition, we will be adding multiple new PvP (Player vs Player) modes and events.
3. The Operation: Italian Files was very well received by our players and you have asked us for more events like these. Look out for more Operations - coming soon!
Stay tuned! We will be sharing more of our plans for Mafia Wars regularly on this blog.

Zynga did throw us a doobie when they stated “Given the positive response from our player community to the Arena, we will be adding a number of social features.” Really? Which community are you referring to that has given you the idea that we want more to do with the Arena? You seemingly took our original idea and concept of a Fighting Arena and turned it into a jumbled, confusing, annoying, aggravating mess. Too many players, from my perspective, want nothing to do with the Arena.
I guess 2 Out Of Three Ain’t Bad.
