Hangar 13 and 2K Games issued a statement regarding the delay, and explained that the current coronavirus crisis is placing unforeseen stressors on the team. “The last thing we want to do is compromise the quality of the experience,” it said. “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.”
To compensate for the news, the developer has released a fifteen-second teaser trailer for Mafia: Definitive Edition, and there will be an extended gameplay look on July 22. “We want to express our heartfelt thanks to you for watching our narrative trailer, playing the Definitive Editions of Mafia 2 and 3, and supporting us as we continue building the definitive organised crime saga,” concluded Hangar 13.
Mafia: Definitive Edition comes to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on September 25.
