Developed by Hangar 13, it is a remake of the 2002 game Mafia. The premise focuses on Tommy Angelo, a former cab driver turned gangster for a crime family in 1930s Illinois. The definitive edition was made from the ground up and features a new game engine, new cutscenes, and tweaks to the gameplay that are similar to Mafia 3. In addition to rebuilding the first Mafia game from the ground up, Hangar 13 has taken a point in working on the Mafia series. This includes remastering Mafia 2, which was also released in 2020, and developing Mafia 3 in 2016. In 2022, the studio confirmed it was working on a new Mafia game, though details on the project have remained scarce since the initial announcement back in 2022. “Oozing with 1930s atmosphere, Mafia: Definitive Edition is a successful rejuvenation of the best story in the series,” my colleague Luke Reilly penned in his review of Mafia: Definitive Edition.
