You shouldn’t trust a crook to keep a secret. Mafia: Trilogy was teased last week by 2K Games, and since then we’ve been inundated with leaks regarding the games included. After details emerged that Mafia: Definitive Edition would be an entire remake, it seems that today Mafia 2: Definitive Edition has been released early on the Australian PS Store.
There’s been no official announcement yet, but both Mafia 2: Definitive Edition and Mafia 3: Definitive Edition are expected to release worldwide today. The first PS4 Pro gameplay footage has already begun to arrive online. You can check out the opening ten or so minutes of the game which take place during the closing stages of World War 2, in the video below by Videogmz
The store page has since been taken down for Mafia 2: Definitive Edition, but as the footage above attests, it was too slow to stop some folks from downloading and taking a look. According to the Mafia 3: Definitive Edition PS Store page, the new version of the 2016 title won’t feature any fresh updates beyond dynamic 4K Gaming for PS4 Pros, but it will come with all the DLC released for Mafia 3.
Mafia 2: Definitive Edition will be a modest remaster, again featuring all the DLC released for the game. The original title and its aged visuals however will undergo a more serious update, releasing as a full remake with overhauled visuals and gameplay. Mafia: Definitive Edition was mistakenly added to the Microsoft Storefront last week, with a release date in August (presumably alongside the trilogy bundle).
