Some 18 years after the critically acclaimed Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven first invited players to live the life of a gangster during the Prohibition Era, we're excited to announce that Mafia: Definitive Edition—a complete remake of the original game—is now available. The centerpiece of the Mafia: Trilogy[mafiagame.com] bundle, Mafia: Definitive Edition tells the story of Tommy Angelo, a Lost Heaven[mafiagame.com] cab driver who becomes enamored with a life in organized crime after an opportune brush with the Italian Mafia. It's the same enthralling story you might remember from the 2002 game, but fully remade from the ground-up and expanded, with beautiful presentation including stunning new visuals and an original orchestral score.

The missions you take on after joining the ranks of a crime family at war are faithful to those that Tommy first tackled in 2002, but play quite differently courtesy of reworked vehicle handling, enhanced melee combat, a new cover system, the introduction of motorcycles, and a host of other improvements. Mafia: Definitive Edition is more accessible than the original game by design, but there are difficulty settings to suit newcomers and experienced mafiosos alike, including the most challenging Classic Difficulty[mafiagame.com] setting, which incorporates a number of old-school Mafia features. In another nod to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, Mafia: Definitive Edition also includes a Free Ride[mafiagame.com] mode that lets you explore the map and search for hidden collectibles[mafiagame.com] and secrets at your own pace.

Mafia: Definitive Edition has been a labor of love for Hangar 13 and will continue to be even now that the game has launched. We've been paying close attention to your feedback, and we're planning to update the game with additional HUD customization options and some other cool stuff in the coming weeks. Check back for more details soon.

Whether this will be your first time experiencing Tommy Angelo's story or your fiftieth, we hope you enjoy your time with Mafia: Definitive Edition and we're excited to hear about your adventures in and around Lost Heaven.

Following the initial Mafia: Definitive Edition Gameplay Reveal trailer[mafiagame.com], here's another in-depth look at Mafia: Definitive Edition[mafiagame.com] gameplay made in partnership with content creator GhostRobo. Click the image above to check out the full video, which features an interview with Hangar 13 President and CCO Haden Blackman.

And be sure to keep an eye out for more of Mafia: Definitive Edition this Thursday, August 27 as part of Gamescom's Opening Night Live presentation, which starts at 7:30 PM CEST (10:30 AM PT / 1:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM BST).

Now that you've reacquainted yourself with Tommy Angelo and the city of Lost Heaven in the "New Beginnings" narrative trailer[mafiagame.com], we're proud to present the first gameplay trailer for Mafia: Definitive Edition[mafiagame.com]. In this new footage, narrated by Hangar 13 President and CCO Haden Blackman, you'll get more insight into how this remake has been built from the ground up by the team at Hangar 13, which includes developers who have worked on every game in the Mafia series.

Along with glimpses of Lost Heaven's bustling streets, period-authentic vehicles, and scenic skyline, the centerpiece of the gameplay trailer is an in-depth look at the mission "A Trip to the Country". We join Tommy on a job about midway through the story campaign, after he's established himself as a valued member of the Salieri Crime Family. Take in the foreboding atmosphere of a deal gone wrong in the pouring rain, then watch as Tommy and Paulie rush to the aid of their friend Sam during a chaotic barn shootout.

The Mafia: Definitive Edition Official Gameplay Reveal trailer is just a taste of what you can expect from this gripping 1930s crime saga. Mafia: Definitive Edition is currently available for pre-order and will launch later this year on September 25, 2020.

Today we released patches for both Mafia II: Definitive Edition[mafiagame.com] and Mafia III: Definitive Edition[mafiagame.com] on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
