This
tweet announces a delay to the release of the
Mafia: Definitive Edition,
saying the open-world crime remake is now due on September 25th. This is about a
month later than previously planned, and they explain the setback is due to
COVID-19. They promise an extended look at gameplay on July 22nd, and for now
offer a
Gameplay Reveal
Trailer with just a glimpse of what to expect. Here's word:
Mafia:
Definitive Edition will now release worldwide on September 25. Though we'd
originally planned to release the game one month earlier on August 28,
finalizing everything in time for that lunch date has become increasingly
challenging due to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, and last thing we want
to do is compromise the quality of the experience.
From the beginning, this has been a passion project for us. 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.
All that said, we know you're anxious to see more. That's why we're thrilled to
give you an extended look at Mafia: Definitive Edition's gameplay in just 2
weeks on July 22. Be sure to follow
@MafiaGame on Twitter to see a brand new 15 second teaser now, and visit
MafiaGame.com for more information about
the entire Mafia: Trilogy.
We want to express our heartfelt thanks to you for watching our narrative
trailer, playing the definitive editions of Mafia II and III, and supporting us
as we continue building the definitive organized crime saga. We look forward to
showing you more on July
22.
