UPDATE: Hours after the ESRB rating was spotted, a native PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version of Mafia: Definitive Edition has been announced, but it turns out there’s a bit more to the story.

The new version of Mafia: The Definitive Edition will run at 60FPS and will have vague “technical improvements” and “Some legacy issues have been fixed.”

The good news is this is a free upgrade for anyway who alreadys owns the game in either standalone form or as part of Mafia: Trilogy. PS4 disc owners can also get the upgrade by inserting the disc, downloading and playing, although you’ll still need the disc. Annoyingly, Xbox One disc owners don’t get the upgrade, because 2K say Xbox doesn’t support it.

It’s also worth noting saves do not transfer, apparently.

This new version of Mafia: Definitive Edition launches tomorrow, August 14, to coincide with Mafia: The Old Country’s Man of Honor expansion pack.

And if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a new Mafia: Omerta bundle which pulls together the new Mafia: Definitive Edition alongside Mafia 2: Definitive Edition, Mafia 3: Definitive Edition and Mafia: The Old Country. That also launches tomorrow. No price has been announced yet, oddly, but there will be some sort of introductory offer running until August 28 on PS5 and PC, and August 25 on Xbox.

ORIGINAL STORY:It’s time to become a made man….er, again, because it looks like there’s a native PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version of Mafia: Definitive Edition incoming.

The leak comes from a reliable source, too: the ESRB ratings board. A new listing has appeared for Mafia: The Definitive Edition which lists PS5 and Xbox Series X/S as the platforms.

This isn’t really the kind of thing that can happen by accident, either, because companies need to actively submit their titles to the ratings board. Backend mistakes are always possible, but extremely unlikely in cases like this.

The listing doesn’t really give us any other relevant details. It has been rated as “Mature” just like the original game, and all the warnings are exactly as expected: swearing, guns, blood etc.

As for a release date, it’s hard to tell. Ratings can be given out months ahead of a games release. Generally, though, the timeline for a game getting rated and then released is 1-3 months. I’m not sure when this new listing appeared, which makes it trickier to gauge.

Personally, I think by the end of the year is a completely safe bet. And based on previous patterns, 2K love to publish the Mafia games around August-October.

There is one caveat, though: the ESRB don’t need to play the game to rate it. The publisher/developer submits a questionnaire and footage containing all relevant and extreme material. Since this is just a port of an existing game, 2K and the developers already know exactly what is in it, and thus could get it rated extremely early in the development process if they really wanted to.
