Update: Mafia: Definitive Edition has been officially announced and revealed, giving us a slightly better idea of what to expect. As previously reported, this is a full remake of the 2002 title -- it's being rebuilt from the ground up using a new engine and new assets.
What's more, it'll include freshly recorded dialogue, new cutscenes, and new features. It'll also have "expanded gameplay". It sounds like 2K's really gone all-out on this one.
Original Story: Whoops, the Microsoft Store has just leaked Mafia: Definitive Edition ahead of the series' teased announcement on the 19th May. According to the game's page, it's set to launch on the 28th August -- but the release date isn't the only thing we can pull from this.
Indeed, the big story here is that Mafia: Definitive Edition isn't just a remaster -- it looks to be a full remake running on a new engine complete with brand new assets. It even has an "expanded story". Several screenshots have popped up on the aforementioned store, and it looks fantastic.
The original Mafia released all the way back in 2002 for the PS2, so it's great to see that it's getting the full remake treatment. We're bound to learn much more about the game next week.
In related news, Mafia II: Definitive Edition has also leaked, and it's apparently launching, er, next week.

It is not a leak guys. Just announcement. And you are late to the party. It was announced like three hour ago.
Wow๐ณ๐๐๐๐.this is one of the best screenshots i ever seen.amazing.a full on remake.thats what im talking about.word up son
This looks great, never had the chance to play 1&2 so will definitely have them both on my radar.
@majklpetr The official announcement was that we'd find out more on 19th May. These screenshots have leaked.
@majklpetr A teaser for an official announcement was announced three hours ago โ this is a full leak on the Microsoft store. All of this information was meant to be revealed next week.
Woah looks brilliant. A bit strange that they're releasing Mafia 2 first though, no?
Still, very, very excited by this.
@roe It's very weird. By the looks of it, Mafia II is a more traditional remaster, whereas this is a full-blown remake. So we're going to end up with Mafia 1 looking better than Mafia II and probably Mafia III... But Mafia II is releasing first...?
Yes!!! Super excited for this. Mafia is in my top 3 or 5 games of all time. Love the sequel, too. The third not so much, but I still like it.
mafia 2 can still hold up to current gen visuals so they are just remastering it same goes for 3 i guess.
anyway i am glad they are remaking 1 i am more than happy with this news
Oh my god this looks fantastic!! ๐ฒ
Thatโs one beautiful looking game. I canโt wait to live out my inner Al Capone cause Iโve never played a game in the series.
i'm ready to replay MAfia 2 again... so hyped!
They might aswell Call this mafia 4!
Damn that looks good!
@majklpetr It's a leak, considering we weren't supposed to find out until the reveal on May 19th.
Looks like one for my Xmas list
This looks beautiful, Iโve never played this one so this is exciting.
This looks far better than what was showing by Microsoft for next gen.
never played the earlier games, I have no interest in the latest one but a prohibition era game very much does
I never did play the first one and this remaster looks bellissimo.
great news huge fan of the series!!
I am for all of this.
looks absolutely amazing, just yesterday played og game. I am seriously considered to get it
I'm all over this!! Day Zero!
Day 1 ! Played this on release back in the day and upgraded my PC to max it. Jeez, was it really 18 years ago ?? Fantastic game, as was the 2nd. Just pretend the 3rd one never happened
Wow wow wee wow! This looks awesome!
I never played the first one so I might wait to play that one first
This is the first time I have felt genuine excitement for a remake. Mafia was one of my favourite ps2 games. A lot of people didn't like the controls at the time as using both sticks to aim and move wasn't popular then in a 3rd person game.
Replaying Mafia 2 on PS now at the moment. Never played 1 so looking forward to getting this
is there any rank system like before? if yes. i am in.
Do we know if they will release a physical collection of the 3 games similar to the yakuza remastered collection? Might pick that up if so
Can't make out the way they are going to release it.. Will the complete pack be available in August with all three in a physical box? But Mafia 2 will be released digitally earlier?? Will have to wait and see..
What they haven't said is that the extension to the story is that you have to complete a racing championship instead of a race at the start lol. The unpatched version of the original game was a nightmare.
Seriously excited for this one. I didn't think this would ever get a remake. Can't wait to visit Vincenzo. Hoping they keep the 30s music like Django Reinhardt in the game.
This looks great! I love Mafia II, kinda enjoy Mafia III but never played the first one so I'm excited for this remake
Molto bene!
Played the second game and really enjoyed it, passed on the third.
This remake looks pretty darned good, definitely one to add to my list!
Great news as this remake will be like playing an all new game. My last replay of this first Mafia game was probably 10 years ago around the time i first played Mafia 2.
For me doesn't make any sense to release the 2nd one before the first. But anyway, the first one was, by far, the best mafia game I ever played. And although I finished the game at the time, that's the one I am really interested in.
never really got on with the 2nd game so not sure if I would have any interest in the 1st game, graphics looks nice though.
you know i never played these games, are they worth it?
Hope they add side activities to make the world a living world like Rockstar's, not just mission to mission in an empty world, or 3's highly repetitive side missions. Other than that it looks splendid!
I'll be happy if they fix the controls, driving in the first two mafia games was such a pain, I thought at the time maybe illusion just made the cars have ***** handling to better reflect the time period... But I dunno man, tanky tight controls and ***** vehicles can kill a game for me, shame cause I've heard the stories amazballs
Your article is correct, the game did indeed come out for PC in 2002. However it does look VERY ropey today, even if you're making allowances. FINALLY a remaster of a game that DOES need a remaster. You know, unlike the current list of Assassin's Creed games that no one thinks needs a remaster that they're working through regardless.
I never played the original Mafia, so this makes me really happy!
Looking forward to finally trying out the series with this collection.
Updated.
Well, looks like my furlough is officially sorted then. 3 games to play until I'm back. NOICE.
"All existing owners of Mafia II on Steam will be upgraded to Mafia II: Definitive Edition, while all existing owners of Mafia III on all platforms will be upgraded to Mafia III: Definitive Edition"
Depending what you have you could be getting upgraded 2 and 3 for free
Never played this before. One question, does it play anything like the Godfather? Love the films and the Godfather games back in the day! Hmmm...
@BigP Mafia is the best err... mafia game out there. The Godfather is OK but for me Mafia is the real godfather. And looking at this remake... Oh boy yes, it's an offer I can't refuse. Of course I hope they haven't removed the ability to flat the tires of the cars with gunshots.
@Nich0 maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, but the only painful section on Mafia was the one you have to **** that silver car. Otherwise the game was an absolute joy to play.
there are bikes in mafia definitive ed ...

Godfather on ps2 nintendo Wii and Godfather 2 on Xbox 360 are my top 3 favorite games.
I never played mafia 3 yet .
Glad I saved my money for a new Mafia game
Cause remake resident evil 3 is garbage and awful game Capcom sucks and ruining the resident evil game line franchise enough with remakes Capcom if they can remake 2 other's
Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City and Resident evil Outbreak 1 and 2 to ps4 and Xbox 1 allowing a and 4 OFF LLine 2 be really playable in main Campaign mode and creating our characters for once Capcom make us join umbrella at umbrella prison labs just same as create a abilities and characters from Project resistance let us be the new U.S.S. mercenaries.
Let the player pick out guns and outfits and gear masks and creating a code names and design and customize my own creative 3 A.i teammates for single player only
and for co-op 2/ 3 and 4 operation mode let players to create a player umbrella mercenaries or something different to bring to story mode and multiplayer modes.
so I'm getting this mafia edition game on Xbox one
