According to eXtas1s, even before Mafia: Definitive Edition, on August 8, another remake (even three) will appear on Game Pass – Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, followed by Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2.

Returning to Mafia, the new part was confirmed the summer before last. According to rumors, the game is a prequel to the main trilogy and will tell about the formation of Don Salieri in Sicily at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and will also be more linear than Mafia 3.
