Mafia II: Definitive Edition Listed On Xbox Store For May Release Next Week

Today looks to be overflowing with new information regarding the approaching full reveal for the Mafia: Trilogy that developer Hanger 13 shared earlier this morning. Although the additional details shared are accidental, that does not discount their legitimacy at the slightest. Instead, the information spared comes directly from publisher 2K who is presumed to have made the mistake.

According to a listing on the Xbox Store, the website reveals that Mafia II: Definitive Edition is a standing property after being unearthed on eastern rating boards for the past month now. The listing as expected also comes with in-game rendered screenshots for the title with a reworked engine resembling the Havok engine used for the later Mafia III.

A similar story occurred for 2002’s Mafia with the Mafia: Definitive Edition emerging on the same domain recently. However, while the first segment of the trilogy is listed to ship this coming August, Mafia II on the other hand looks to be arriving this approaching Tuesday, May 19. The listed release date looks to be a surprise that Hanger 13 was planning to save for the full Mafia: Trilogy reveal next week.

“Remastered in stunning HD detail, live the life of a gangster during the Golden-era of organized crime. War hero Vito Scaletta becomes entangled with the mob in hopes of paying his father’s debts. Alongside his buddy Joe, Vito works to prove himself, climbing the family ladder with crimes of larger reward, status and consequence,” the synopsis shared in the listing reads.

It is suspected that alike with many remastered or reimagined projects for newer hardware, Mafia II: Definitive Edition will include its slew of additional content that shipped with the game on Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3. That includes the spin-off story The Betrayal of Jimmy & Jimmy’s Vendetta alongside the side story in Joe’s Adventures taking place during Vito’s sentencing in the latter of the game’s base story.
