Originally planned to release the game one month earlier on August 28, Mafia: Definitive Edition will now release worldwide on September 25.
The developer mentions that finalizing everything in time for that launch date has become increasingly challenging due to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, and the last thing they want to do is compromise the quality of the experience.
“Many of our developers helped create the original Mafia, and all of us are committed to crafting an updated experience worthy of that timeless classic. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make Mafia: Definitive Edition the very best it can be for all of our fans worldwide.”
Also, 2K will give players an extended look at Mafia: Definitive Edition’s gameplay in just two weeks on July 22.
