2K Czech a.s. (previously known as Illusion Softworks and Silver Wish Games) was a game development company located in Brno, Czech Republic. The company focuses mostly on first-person and third-person shooter games, and is widely known for the Mafia series. Since the foundation in 1997, till the sale to Kush Games (a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive) ten years later, its owners and key managers were founders Petr Vochozka and Jan Kudera. In September 2008, the company was renamed 2K Czech. As of October 2010^[update], it had 188 employees. In 2017, 2K Czech was merged into Hangar 13.

The company's first well known game was Hidden & Dangerous, a tactical shooter game in 1999, where the player takes control of a four-man British Special Air Service team executing a number of important sabotage and/or rescue campaigns during World War II. This game also represents the beginning of cooperation with worldwide publisher Take-Two Interactive.

Their first 3D game was the not so famous - Flying Heroes, which featured fantasy mid-air action duels. In this game, Illusion Softworks presented a brand new 3D engine called the Ptero-Engine (named after The Pterodon company, which co-developed the software).

The company prepared its own LS3D engine for the game Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, which was first released in 2002. The game met with great acclaim from critics and was even labeled the best game about the Mob because of its original plot and revolutionary capabilities within its gameplay.
