The first mafia says it takes place in the Prohibition years the story of Tommy Angelo, a taxi driver from the town of Lost Heaven, who suddenly becomes involved in organized crime. Let’s read the official description of the game:
“The year is 1930. After an unfortunate encounter with the mafia, Tommy Angelo, a taxi driver, ends up in the world of organized crime despite himself. Competing with the Salieri family may seem like too much of a risk, but crime pays, and lots of it. His rise in the ranks will lead him to ever-greater earnings… and ever-dirtier jobs. Winning the respect of the Salieri and becoming a man of honour, an irreparable conflict arises between Tommy and his new life.“
The original mafia was recreated in 2020 with a ‘final edition. It’s a remake that brings back all the charm, all the action, and all the narrative power of the Mafia’s extraordinary epic, but with a greater focus on the characterization of the historical context.

Before we leave, we also remind you that 2K Games confirmed yesterday that a new chapter of Mafia is in development at the Hangar 13 team.
