# Revived Mob Games 'Mafia: Definitive Edition' is a Remake of the 2002 Video Game By Riley von Niessen | Published 2020-09-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mafia-definitive-edition References: [mafiagame](https://mafiagame.com/mafia/) & [store.steampowered](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1030840/Mafia_Definitive_Edition/) Taking gamers back into the world of 1930s taxi driver Thomas "Tommy" Angelo, 'Mafia: Definitive Edition' revives and improves upon the first game in the franchise, which later saw two sequels. In addition to providing better graphics that turn the game into a beautifully immersive cinematic experience, developer Hangar 13 improved the gameplay mechanics, included new voice actors, added different vehicles, and expanded upon the original storyline. With these improvements, Mafia: The Definitive Edition is well-suited to both franchise loyalists and new players who've yet to experience the world of Lost Heaven. Like in the original game, players act as a poverty-stricken driver who becomes involved with the Salieri crime family. Mafia: The Definitive Edition is available on [PlayStation 4](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/system-shock-2-remaster), [Xbox One](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghost-trick-phantom-detective), and [Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-quest-hd) Windows.
