Mafia Definitive Edition is set to join Xbox Game Pass next month, as revealed by insider NateDrake. This game, which was released in September 2020, is a remake of the original Mafia game from 2002, which was the first game in the popular franchise. Hangar 13, the same studio behind Mafia III, worked on this remake using the same engine. They made significant improvements to the game, including an updated script with new dialogue, expanded backstories, additional cutscenes, and new gameplay sequences and features. The cinematics and overall visuals were also enhanced to provide a better gaming experience. The game was also included in a trilogy pack for fans to enjoy.
According to a review on Wccftech, Mafia Definitive Edition received a solid eight out of ten score. Dave Aubrey praised the remake for being a complete overhaul of a classic crime game. He noted that the game stands out with its impressive visuals and engaging storyline that will keep players hooked until the end. While it may not bring groundbreaking innovations to the genre, it offers a captivating experience that is sure to be enjoyed by many, making it a great choice for a weekend gaming session and a title worth recommending to friends.
In addition to the upcoming release of Mafia Definitive Edition on Game Pass, Hangar 13 had announced plans for a new installment in the Mafia franchise almost two years ago. However, there have been no further updates or rumors about this project. Fans are hopeful that more information about the new game may be revealed in the near future, possibly even at The Game Awards.
With the addition of Mafia Definitive Edition, the Xbox Game Pass library continues to expand, offering subscribers a diverse range of games to choose from. This addition follows the recent inclusion of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, further enhancing the value of the subscription service for gamers looking for a variety of gaming experiences. As fans eagerly await the arrival of Mafia Definitive Edition on Game Pass, they can look forward to immersing themselves in the world of organized crime and enjoying the enhanced gameplay features and visuals that the remake has to offer.
