The Microsoft digital store has mistakenly leaked the existence of Mafia: Definitive Edition and Mafia II: Definitive Edition, two complete remakes of the first and second installments of the saga that will go on sale next August 28 and May 19 respectively. In the file of both games you can also see images that demonstrate the impressive facelift of these new projects, in addition to a description that contextualizes the plot of the game.
These remakes Completely revamp outdated graphics from the franchise's first and second games, released in 2002 and 2010 respectively. The study responsible for carrying out the remake is Hangar 13, known for having developed the last installment of the saga, Mafia III; in fact it seems that the engine with which these remakes have been developed is the same with which said third part was created.
The leaks of the definitive editions of Mafia and Mafia II come hours after 2K has anticipated the announcement of a Triloga Mafia, whose official presentation will take place next Tuesday May 19 at 6:00 p.m. (Spanish peninsular time). Although a series of remakes could be expected, the teaser for this new collection gave few clues about its content; We now know that at least the first two games will be present in this pack along with the third chapter in the series.
From Gematsu they give more information about the launch plans for this Triloga Mafia: apparently the remake of the first game will be the one that comes out later – on August 28, as we said before – while Mafia II: Definitive Edition It will be published digitally on May 19, also accompanied by a definitive edition of Mafia III. This information is not yet fully confirmed, with the final release of Triloga Mafia, the collection that will gather these three titles.
The history of the mafia divided into three chapters
In Mafia: Definitive Edition we will travel to the Illinois of the 30s to live the events already narrated in the first Mafia: here we will play the taxi driver Tommy Angelo who, after a collision with the mafia, will end up becoming a gangster in the heat of the Dry Law. Tommy begin working for the Salieri family gradually ascending the criminal structure.
On the other hand, in Mafia II: Definitive Edition we take a historic leap to New York in the 1940s and 1950s. Here we will control Vito Scaletta, a war veteran who is involved in a criminal plot to prove that he is not as untouchable as he thinks he is.
