ONE Store Beta Now Available

Following the release of a teaser trailer last week, 2K and Hangar 13 have finally announced details regarding Mafia: Trilogy. As you may have guessed, Mafia: Trilogy is a collection of the acclaimed Mafia series; though it’s not just a basic bundle of the three Mafia games in one , it features revamped versions of the open-world crime action titles!

The Trilogy consists of the following:

  • Mafia: Definitive Edition – A built-from-the-ground-up remake of the original Mafia
  • Mafia II: Definitive Edition – An ultra HD remaster of Mafia II
  • Mafia III: Definitive Edition – A re-introduction of the current-gen Mafia III

Mafia: Definitive Edition

Mafia: Definitive Edition might just be the highlight of the trilogy. As the original Mafia was released back in 2002 for PS2, Xbox, and PC, 2K and Hangar 13 re-made the game from the ground-up, complete with a new game engine, an updated script, new cutscenes, and additional gameplay sequences. Thanks to this, Mafia: Definitive Edition will be a great entry-point for new players, as well as a worthy re-play for long-time series fans.

Set in the 1930s during the Prohibition Era USA, the game’s premise is described by 2K as:

“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 some rewards are too big to pass up.”

 

Mafia II: Definitive Edition 

Unlike the first Mafia, Mafia II has aged much better given that it was originally released in 2010 for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, especially in terms of gameplay. But for the Trilogy release, 2K and Hangar 13 made Mafia II: Definitive Edition an ultra HD remaster of the original game. Aside from featuring up to 4k resolution, Mafia II: Definitive Edition includes all three previously released Mafia II campaign add-ons, as well as all Clothing and Vehicle Packs

Set in the 1940s and ‘50s, Mafia II’s story is described as:

“War hero Vito Scaletta becomes entangled with the mob in hopes of paying his father’s debts. Alongside his buddy Joe, Vito works to prove himself, climbing the family ladder in pursuit of greater status and reward. But with each new risk comes even heavier consequence… ”

 

Mafia III: Definitive Edition

Finally, we have Mafia III: Definitive Edition, a game that was released in 2017 for current-gen consoles. This re-release of Mafia III features all three Mafia III campaign add-ons, as well as all Weapons and Vehicle Packs.

Mafia III takes place in 1968 LA, and it’s story is as follows:

“After years of combat in Vietnam, Lincoln Clay knows this truth: family isn’t who you’re born with, it’s who you die for. When his surrogate family is wiped out by the Italian Mafia, Lincoln builds a new family and blazes a path of military-grade revenge through the Mafioso responsible.”
