During today's gamescom Opening Night Live stream, 2K Games dropped a new trailer for its upcoming action-adventure Mafia: Definitive Edition - a ground-up remake of Illusion Softworks' classic crime sim.Developed by Hangar Games, Mafia: De...

Mafia is a series that I love in theory and am disappointed with in execution. I'll never turn down a good mob story, especially in the Goodfellas vein of "up-and-comer turned down-and-outter." Tales of organized crime and the motif of...

This fall sees the release of Mafia: Definitive Edition, a remake of the classic 2002 open-world crime adventure. As part of IGN's ongoing "Summer of Gaming" showcase, publisher 2K Games has released a lengthy video offering fans a look at ...

The Mafia remake has to wear cement galoshes for an extra month. It's not sleeping with the fishes for good, but it won't surface on-time either. Developer Hangar 13 has revealed that COVID-19-related issues have forced a one-month del...

The Mafia games have gotten increasingly lenient in terms of what the police consider to be stoppable offenses. In the first game, simply blowing through a red light would get you pulled over. In Mafia II, traffic lights weren't of muc...

As the Mafia remake barrels toward its August 28 launch, developer Hangar 13 is giving us more information about this project. During this afternoon's PC Gaming Show, we got a new narrative trailer for Mafia, which first released in 2...

Here's a big ol' whoopsie from Hangar 13. When the developer released "definitive editions" of both Mafia II and Mafia III last week, it inadvertently stripped out Mafia III enhancements for the high-end consoles. Or, it...

Mafia II is a period piece, a brash spectacle of organized crime backdropped against a romantic vision of 1940s and 50s metropolis americana. It has old-timey slang, cars that drive like boats, and big band radio hits. There's also nar...

[Update: Listings for Mafia and Mafia II have appeared on the Microsoft storefront.] The sudden revival of the Mafia Twitter account led to a lot of theories about remasters and remakes. Today, we learned what it is all abou...

[Update: The Mafia Twitter account has dropped a second teaser today, simply tweeting out the word "Power." At this rate, it seems 2K Games will be showing its hand very soon.]The official Twitter account for Mafia has sprung back to life a...

It has been 10 years since we last corrupted on Empire Bay -- a city that never sleeps, but its residents sometimes sleep with the fishes. If ratings board rumors pan out, we'll be racketeering and extorting again later this year. Ratings f...

August is a bit of mixed bag for PS Plus subscribers. Mafia III is clearly the standout title, but reception to the game isn't particularly good. It does have one of the more interesting protagonists to come out of an open-world game in a l...

Mafia III is a violent and controversial title. Mixing race politics and the Vietnam war alongside themes of PTSD and urban violence will do that to your open-world adventure. In fact, the game's original opening was so intense, that it was...

BioShock is one of 2K Games' most important properties, but there hasn't been much rumbling about where the series will go next. The most recent installment was 2013's BioShock Infinite; a year after its release, lead BioShock stu...

Hangar 13, the developer behind 2016's Mafia III, was hit with a round of layoffs today. It's unclear how many of the Novato, California-based studio's employees were let go; LinkedIn estimates the company's size to be around 150 employees ...

Now, you might not be itching to play 2002's Mafia right this second. I'm definitely not! But, if and when that time ever does arrive, you'll be thankful to have quick and easy access to this defining open-world action-adventure title. It's...

The third and final piece of Mafia 3 DLC is out now, some nine months after the base game's release. It's called Sign of the Times, and boy does it give off some major True Detective vibes.

Mafia III didn't hit a lot of the right notes for a lot of people, but if you're still into the idea of playing past the slog of a campaign, there's some DLC in the pipeline. The first of three packs is actually available today, and wi...

Oh don't you worry, Mafia III is still getting that story DLC. There's a season pass, after all! Today, developer Hangar 13 outlined its release schedule for the three upcoming expansions: Faster, Baby! (End of March 2017) "Fast cars, dra...

Mafia III wasn't the critical darling that 2K was surely hoping for, but it is selling, and that gives developer Hangar 13 more of a chance to tidy up and support the game with free content additions into the future. We're getting a little ...

The Washington Post is reporting that Mafia III has shipped 4.5 million copies in its first week on sale. This breaks records set by previous 2K games like Borderlands, BioShock, and NBA 2K. This also makes Mafia III the fastest-selling gam...

As I played Mafia III, I found myself thinking more and more about Assassin's Creed. Not the Assassin's Creed of today -- a series overrun with options and bloat -- but the original game. The trigger for my recollection is because Mafi...

Right-wing Northern Irish politicians are mad at a Mafia III mission where the protagonist does a job for the benefit of the Irish Republican Army (IRA). According to The Irish News, it "has been branded 'sick' by outraged unionists and has...

Mafia III begins with protagonist Lincoln Clay playing a part in a grand heist. It's not something we haven't seen before in video games, but it still feels kind of unexpected. This game's predecessor, Mafia II, spent far too much time...

[Update: A representative from 2K sent along the following message:  "We currently have a patch running here at the studio that includes 30, 60, and unlimited frames-per-second options in the video menu, among other improvements f...
