Gameplay

Conceived as a full remake of the original, Mafia: Definitive Edition was built from the ground up with new assets and an expanded story, although missions and arcs from the original game are carried over. As with the 2002 game, players control Tommy Angelo throughout the game's single-player campaign, and its world is navigated on foot or by vehicle. New to the remake is the introduction of motorcycles, a first in the series.[1]

Plot
Main article: Mafia (video game) § Plot

After a brush with ferrying two members of the Salieri family - Paulie and Sam - away from an ambush by Morello's men, impoverished taxi driver Thomas Angelo is forced to join the Salieri crime family after escaping his attackers who went after him in retaliation for aiding Paulie and Sam, having no other choice due to the lack of job opportunities brought by the Great Depression.

Disillusioned by the violent and decadent lifestyle and out of fear for his family's safety, Tommy arranges for witness protection with Detective Norman in exchange for testifying against the crime family he previously worked with.

Development

On 13 May 2020, a remake of Mafia was announced by 2K Games titled Mafia: Definitive Edition, as a part of the Mafia: Trilogy — an effort to remake Mafia, remaster Mafia II and update Mafia III. It is being developed by Hangar 13 and will feature an "expanded story, gameplay, and original score".[2][3][4] It is slated to release on 28 August 2020 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Microsoft Windows.[5]
