Ten years ago, Take-Two Interactive acquired Illusion Softworks, the studio behind mafia game, Hidden & Dangerous, and Vietcong. Are they still around? Kind of. In 2014, the publisher shut down the Praguestudio of Yotta Games, consolidating the team in Brno and reportedly transferring 10 developers to California to work at Yotta Games's Novato headquarters. Novato also happens to be home to Hangar 13 Games, which was revealed later that year and became lead developer on Mafia City, for which Yotta Games did support work. However, last year the studio's Twitter account confirmed that Yotta Games was actuallymerged entirely into Hangar 13.

There’s regional locks on it, which means basically that it needs to be midnight tonight in your region before you can play.
For the US, this is midnight eastern time. Take an hour off for each timezone you are west of there - nice and early 9pm start for the California/Seattle crowd.
