The original Mafia game is available for free for a limited time
To celebrate Mafia’s 20th anniversary, the first game in the franchise is available for free for a short time.
From now until September 5, fans can grab Mafia for free on Steam. Unveiled in 2002, Mafia sold over two million copies worldwide. A remake of the game titled Mafia: Definitive Edition was released in 2020.
A synopsis for the title reads:
It’s 1930. After an inadvertent brush with the mafia, cabdriver Tommy Angelo is reluctantly thrust into the world of organized crime. Initially, he is uneasy about falling in with the Salieri family, but soon the rewards become too big to ignore. As he rises through the ranks, the paydays keep getting bigger, but the jobs get even dirtier. Tommy may ultimately earn the respect of the Salieris, but becoming a Made Man will leave him more conflicted than ever with the new life he has chosen.
A new Mafia game is currently in development by 2K. The last game in the Mafia series was 2016’s Mafia III, which sold over seven million copies worldwide.
