Mafia will be available for free on Steam.

Mafia is a more grounded story, reminiscent of older films like Goodfellas and The Godfather, and focusing on old-school crime families rather than the crazier antics of 2K Games’ Grand Theft Auto franchise. You play Tommy Angelo, a poor 1930s cab driver who is forced into Illinois’ criminal underbelly and rises to become one of the Salieri family’s most feared mafia members.

Although the 2014 series was revamped with new dialogue and cutscenes, tighter combat, and updated graphics with 4K and HDR support, downloading the original Mafia game to take part in the franchise’s anniversary celebrations has a significant advantage over purchasing the Mafia Definitive Edition .

• The city’s design is heavily influenced by American historic cities such as New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Architectural styles, public transport, and landmarks are all included. The total area of ​​the surrounding area is approximately 4.63 square miles (12.0 km2).
• In 1930, Salieri’s crime family members, Paulie and Sam, coerce poor cab driver Tommy Angelo into helping them avoid an ambush by the rival Morello family. Tommy is compensated for his services and offered a job by Don Salieri’s group. When two Morello criminals track him down the next day and damage his cab in retaliation, he has to accept the offer.
• Tommy is welcomed into the Salieri family and immediately begins helping Frank Colletti, Salieri’s trusted consigliere, guide their thugs around town. As they work together on various jobs, Tommy quickly befriends Sam and Paulie and earns Salieri’s respect for thwarting Don Morello’s attempts to infiltrate his company…
