Earlier this morning, Mafia developer Hanger 13 shared the teaser trailer for Mafia: Trilogy. The game shared to be a remaster bundle including Mafia II and Mafia III. Taken from the titling of the project, it was suspected that Hanger 13 purposefully left out the remaining inaugural entry for the series, Mafia. The game shipped back in 2002 and to be receiving a remaster with expected looks for the latter entries shared today.
The trailer provided only held as a teaser as the studio announced to be doing a full showcase for the complete trilogy on May 19 this coming Tuesday. From that, it is expected that the first gameplay for the assumed Mafia: Definitive Edition would be taking place in that trailer next week. However, it seems the surprised was spoiled through an online listing.
Heading over to the Xbox Store reveals that the Mafia: Definitive Edition is in fact legitimate and hands over some in-game screenshots for the title as well. Taken from the images, it looks that the game is presumed to be using the current Havok Engine that Hanger 13 utilized for 2016’s Mafia III.
“Re-made from the ground up, rise through the ranks of the Mafia during the Prohibition era of organized crime,” the synapse for the game reads in the listing. After a run-in with the mob, cab driver Tommy Angelo is thrust into a deadly underworld. Initially uneasy about falling in with the Salieri crime family, Tommy soon finds that the rewards are too big to ignore.”
The original Mafia title despite is support to birth a sequel in 2010 still happens to be one of the lesser played entries from the series. The game following the role of a taxi driver before being initiated into the cities mob and climbing the ranks of the syndicate underbelly of the 1930’s set city. The listing goes to suggest the game’s release is for August 27 later this year.
