If you haven’t played Hangar 13’s Mafia games yet, 2K Games is giving you the perfect way to jump in. After a series of cryptic tweets, the publisher announced Mafia: Trilogy via teaser trailer today, a remastered compilation of Mafia, Mafia II, and Mafia III built from the ground up. Official details won’t be shared until May 19, but these should be the definitive versions of the games.
in fact, a leaked Xbox Marketplace listing for a “Mafia: Definitive Edition” pretty much proves that. Although it was quickly removed, Kotaku was able to grab the official description in time, which you can check out below. It was also published with a handful of stunning screenshots that allude to a complete graphical overhaul.
