🚀2K Games offers extensive preview of Mafia: Definitive Edition gameplay

Maybe you check it, maybe you don't have an accident

This fall sees the release of Mafia: Definitive Edition, a remake of the classic 2002 open-world detective adventure. As part of IGN's ongoing "Summer of Gaming" showcase, publisher 2K Games has released a long video giving fans a glimpse of the title in action.

Developed by Hangar Games, this ground-up remake of the original Illusion Softworks release features an all-new engine, sharper driving mechanics, expanded story, new draft script, all-new cutscenes, re-recorded score and fresh gameplay elements. While longtime Mafia fans can enjoy the story and adventure they hold dear, these additions hope to improve upon what came before, while adding additional entertainment and quality of life improvements for veterans and newcomers.

Set in the 1930s and set in the fictional town of Lost Heaven, Il, (undoubtedly a stand-in for Chicago), Mafia: Definitive Edition tells the classic story of an ordinary Joe who has a chance encounter with the organized crime, before finding himself irreversibly plunged into a world of power, money and cruelty. With this release, the three main titles in the Mafia series will be readily available on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
