Mafia Wars Bangkok Preview

The preview for Mafia Wars Bangkok is now up! Looks like they are intent on getting it ready for the holidays. You can now "fly" to Bangkok (although you can not access any of the jobs yet).

To do jobs in Bangkok once it is released, you will have to collect 4 items first: a Triad Coin, a Yakuza Sake, a Thai Note, and a Thai Passport.


For now, you can get started on the first three items:

Triad Coin: In the soldier tier, the "Museum Break-in" job is now "Asian Museum Break-in. This job drops the Triad Coin.



Yakuza Sake: The Repel the Yakuza job in the Hitman tier drops this item. Thai Note: The 2nd job in the Enforcer tier is now "Smuggle Thai Gems". This job drops the Thai Note.



These items were all very easy for me to get. I got on one the first try, one on the fifth, and one on the second try. Looks like the Thai Passport will simply be given out once Bangkok comes out.

Yakuza vs Triads

Just like with Mafia Wars Moscow, there will be two sides to choose from in Bangkok - the Yakuza or Triads. I am sure it will play out in a similar fashion to the way Moscow is set up.

While there is no official launch date, at this point I would say we're likely to see Bangkok within 2 weeks. It will be at least a week - it definitely won't be launched during the Public Enemies Crime Spree limited time job. Stay tuned for updates.
