Mafia: Definitive Edition is a full-fledged remake of the classic crime action film Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven developed from scratch from the Czech studio Illusion Softworks.

The original Mafia and its remake tell the story of taxi driver Thomas Angelo, who, after an accidental encounter with the mafia, ends up in the world of organized crime.

Mafia: Definitive Edition was released in September 2020 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), PS4 and Xbox One. The remake earned 76-79% on Metacritic and 86% of “very positive” reviews on Steam (out of almost 59 thousand).
