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 bundle, Mafia: Definitive Edition tells the story of Tommy Angelo, a Lost Heaven 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 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 mode that lets you explore the map and search for hidden collectibles 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, here's another in-depth look at Mafia: Definitive Edition 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, we're proud to present the first gameplay trailer for Mafia: Definitive Edition. 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 and Mafia III: Definitive Edition on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Lincoln has taken on the Italian Mafia, corrupt sheriffs and rogue CIA agents. Starting today, you’ll deal with a blood-thirsty cult that’s one step ahead of you. The final story DLC that wraps up Mafia III’s Season Pass – “Sign of the Times” – is now available!

What’s in it, though? Let’s break down what’s lurking at the fringes of New Bordeaux.

https://youtu.be/UNprCkXesjk

A new enemy: The Ensanglante is a drug-fueled, blood-worshipping cult operating in and around the city. They’re set on an inevitable collision course with Lincoln after he disrupts one of their macabre ceremonies taking place inside the walls of Sammy’s bar.

A mystery to solve: It’s a game of cat-and-mouse as you work to uncover the Ensanglante’s end-game. Along the way, you’ll investigate ritual sites for clues and signs of their whereabouts. Check bodies, take pictures of evidence and follow clues with your black light as you edge closer to the horrifying truth. You can read more about the cult and the Investigation experience here on the Mafia blog.

A new way to play: If you have deadly accuracy, you’ll get extra time to take down targets. “Sign of the Times” introduces a new slow-motion gunplay mechanic, similar to the slow-motion driving skill introduced in “Faster, Baby!”. Once activated, the world slows as you take aim. While the timer ticks down, snap off successful headshots and you can keep the meter going.

New weapons in your arsenal: Once you beat back the Ensanglante, you can order the Black Sacrament automatic rifle from the weapons van. And throughout the game, you’ll discover throwing knives that’ll let you silently slay your way through the city.

New threads: Ready to rip the roads up as if you were in a gang?  Slap on the Motorcycle Club outfit. Playing “Sign of the Times” also unlocks The Wanderer and Tee Time outfits in Lincoln’s wardrobe.

New wheels for your fleet: Win the Samson Harrier hotrod in a race and you’ll fly off the line. Meanwhile, the Bulworth Harrow is a seriously grim set of wheels perfect for ushering your enemies to their very own funeral.

A “new” place to call home – Sammy’s: All the hard-earned cash earned from your side businesses and whatever you *ahem* get while on the streets can be put into refurbishing Sammy’s to its former glory. Rebuild the bar, get a new jukebox – put Sammy’s back together just like you remember it from the very beginning of the game. But you can also start adding more to it. This was a big request from the fans – and it’s something we really wanted to deliver in “Sign of the Times”.

You can read more about Sammy’s in this post on the Mafia blog.

“Sign of the Times” is the third and final piece of DLC in Mafia III’s Season Pass. Here at Hangar 13, it’s our goal to tell great stories and deliver kickass gameplay experiences. We truly hope you enjoyed your stay as we worked to add more features, create memorable characters and deliver crazy car chases along the way. While we set out to tell Lincoln Clay’s story of revenge, we also wanted to make you feel welcome in New Bordeaux.

from the entire Mafia team, thanks once again for all your support, your feedback and spending time with us.

We’d love to keep hearing about your run-ins with the Marcano family – so keep in touch with us on our Facebook, Twitter and YouTube channels for the latest on all things Mafia.

Ever since fans set foot in New Bordeaux, they've wanted to make Sammy’s a place all their own – now you can in “Sign of the Times” for Mafia III. 

A big part of the story behind this DLC is, of course, investigating a cult operating out of New Bordeaux. “It all starts with Lincoln going back to visit the burned out remains of Sammy’s to get some closure,” explains Senior Writer Ed Fowler. “This felt like the right way to start the story, but also a great call back to an extremely important location in Lincoln's life and the player's experience in the main game. So once we landed on that location, we knew that was it. There was no better place to begin a story like this.”  The way it works: After you get to the bottom of what the Ensanglante is planning, you’ll be able to come back to Sammy’s and really deck the place out.

All the hard-earned cash earned from your side businesses and whatever you *ahem* get while on the streets can be put into refurbishing Sammy’s to its former glory. Rebuild the bar, get a new jukebox – put Sammy’s back together just like you remember it from the very beginning of the game. But you can also start adding more to it.

Where it gets interesting is that as you need to hire more staff, you’ll start unlocking side missions. Help a drummer out of a jam and his band will perform at your club. Do a favor for someone and they’ll start working your bar.

And, a nice perk from helping said bartender: You’ll unlock the Samson Harrier. This high-speed hot rod flies off the starting line – and will be a fine edition to your fleet. Provided you can win it in a race.



“After all is said and done,” Fowler adds, “we wanted to provide a bit of closure for Lincoln as we wrapped our last big DLC for Mafia III. You can start playing "Sign of the Times" at any point after the first sit-down and feel like you’ve tried to do right by your adoptive father’s legacy.”

Season Pass Owners: Don’t forget that “Sign of the Times” is part of the Season Pass. Best part, you don’t have to wait much longer – this DLC hits digital stores on July 25, so keep your eyes peeled for more Mafia news on our Facebook, Twitter and YouTube channels.
