Mafia Definitive Edition was first scheduled to release on August 28. Today, it was confirmed that Mafia Definitive Edition had been delayed until September 25, worldwide. This delay is mostly caused due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the work environment.
This is not the first game that was delayed due to the virus outbreak. Instead, many others have followed the same path. Looking at the positive side of things, the developer will get a breathing room for further polishing.
In a Tweet, the developer stated the following:
Mafia: Definitive Edition will now release worldwide on September 25. Though we’d originally planned to release the game one month earlier on August 28, finalizing everything in time for that launch date has become increasingly challenging due to the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, and the last thing we want to do is compromise the quality of the experience.
