Return of Mafia almost two decades later it was fantastic news for fans of one of the great open world titles. Mafia: Definitive Edition made a fabulous coat of paint on the orig inal title of Illusion Softworks.
However, one person decided to focus his attention on the latter, with a particular purpose: recreate the Titanic in the game. Indeed, as revealed from Eurogamer, modder Robin Bongaarts wears working since 2006 on this mod to move what was the largest ship in the world to the Mafia universe.
The whole point is that Bongaarts didn’t find a game 15 years ago that would satisfy his desire to explore the ship. “I started in September 2006, expecting development to take around three months. It took four years before the mod began to take shape, not even remotely, “the modder clarifies.
Although today it may be simple get access to engines like Unreal Engine or Unity, at that time it was more complex. Therefore, Bongaarts thought that “using an existing game as Mafia it would make everything much easier, since I would only have to model the ship. “
However, you have not been alone in this task. There are quite a few volunteers who have joined the project over time, adding functions such as swimming or climbing stairs. The best thing is that it is not only a recreation, but there will be a story inside the Titanic itself from his departure to the sinking.
In principle, the first part of the mod should be released later this month, although it will be necessary to wait until a definitive date. Either way, you can follow the progress of it through this link.
