NOW WATCH BELOW to keep up-to-date with the Gaming World!
The latest leak
Leaker Nibel spotted some very revealing information on the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee site.
This including definitive editions for both Mafia 2 and 3, alongside a Complete Edition for Mafia 3.
Usually, leaks are taken with either a pinch or a 10kg bag of salt, but this looks like it’s on the money.
So a release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC is on the cards.
Mafia 2 – an instant classic
Mafia 2 was received with favourable reviews, many of which noted its effective capturing of the 40’s & 50’s setting, alongside a pretty engaging story.
The game seems to follow a traditional gangster story plot. You play Vito Scaletta, who is busy building up a name for himself with his sidekick buddy Joe.
As is the case with such classics as Goodfellas, he’s out to raise his game within organised crime, which doesn’t go completely as planned.
Its setting, during World War 2, gives the game a unique feel as it’s just on the cusp of a huge period of change within America.
Cars, music and fashion are all perfectly captured and lend a real sense of authenticity to the game, which was widely praised by fans and critics alike.
Let’s not forget the story, which at points really ‘hacks’ it as a top gangster tale.
Why release the remaster?
Mafia 3 was met with a somewhat more muted reception, largely due to its questionably repetitive mission structures.
Some rumours say it is because of the slightly lacklustre impact of Mafia 3 that the decision to go ahead with the remaster was taken.
That being said, many players are serious fans on the franchise and will surely be jumping at the chance to dive back to the stylishly, dangerous world of Mafia.
We’ll keep you updated with this story as we get more information, so be sure to keep checking in.
