Mafia II: Definitive Edition

Mafia: Definitive Edition Chapter List
The first game in the collection, Mafia: Definitive Edition, is a complete remake of the 2002 original. It tells the story of Tommy Angelo, a cab driver forced into the Salieri crime family. The game is structured into a tightly woven series of chapters that chronicle his rise and fall.
Video Highlights:
- Experience the iconic "The Running Man" opening chapter.
- Witness the intense "Sarah" chapter and the high-stakes "Bon Apetit" restaurant mission.
- Relive the dramatic conclusion "Death of Art".
The campaign is divided into distinct missions, often accompanied by a classic "Free Ride" mode that allows players to explore the 1930s city of Lost Heaven freely.
| Chapter Number | Chapter Title | Key Objective |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Running Man | Escape a taxi ride gone wrong and meet Paulie and Sam. |
| 2 | Ordinary Routine | Learn the ropes of the Salieri family business. |
| 3 | Fair Play | Win a race for the family at the Lost Heaven Speedway. |
| 4 | The Whore | Rescue a distressed woman named Sarah from thugs. |
| 5 | The Priest | Visit a priest to confess your sins (narrative interlude). |

| 9 | A Trip to the Country | Survive a brutal ambush at a farm. |
| 10 | Omertà | Face the ultimate judgment for breaking the code of silence. |
While progressing through the chapter list, keep an eye out for Cigarette Cards and Mystery Foxes. Finding all collectibles in a chapter is required for 100% completion.
Mafia II & III: Definitive Edition Structure
Unlike the linear structure of the first game, Mafia II: Definitive Edition and Mafia III: Definitive Edition introduce different pacing and open-world elements. Mafia II follows Vito Scaletta across two distinct eras (1945 and 1951), while Mafia III focuses on Lincoln Clay's systematic dismantling of the Marcano crime family in 1968 New Bordeaux.
Mafia II: Definitive Edition Chapters
The Betrayal of Jimmy, Jimmy's Vendetta, and Joe's Adventures DLCs are included in the collection, extending the chapter list significantly beyond the main Vito campaign.
| Chapter Name | Era | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Home Sweet Home | 1945 | Vito returns home from WWII and learns the realities of Empire Bay's slums. |
| The Enforcer | 1945 | Vito begins his work for the Mafia, proving his worth. |
| Enemy of the State | 1945 | A massive police crackdown forces Vito to flee the city. |
| Murphy's Law | 1951 | Vito returns from prison and reconnects with Joe. |
| The Stolen Secrets | 1951 | Retrieve federal documents to secure a favor. |
| Revelation | 1951 | Discover the truth behind your father's death. |
| In the Crosshairs | 1951 | A tense standoff at the Empire Bay observatory. |
Mafia III: Definitive Edition Structure
Mafia III breaks from the traditional numbered chapter list. Instead, the story is divided into Districts that Lincoln Clay must overthrow. Each district has a Racket Boss, and taking them down unlocks the final story missions.
| District | Racket Type | Key Story Beat |
|---|---|---|
| Delray Hollow | Gambling | Establish your base of operations and meet your first underbosses. |
| Barclay Mills | Labor Unions | Infiltrate the docks and manufacturing plants. |
| Frisco Fields | Prostitution | Deal with the city's flesh trade. |
| Pointe Verdun | Drug Trade | A heavily fortified island controlled by the Haitian mob. |
| Downtown | Corruption | The final showdown with the Marcano family leadership. |
The collection includes the Faster, Baby!, Stones Unturned, and Sign of the Times story DLCs for Mafia III. These add new districts and story chapters that fit into the main campaign flow.
Mafia: The Old Country & Recommended Play Order
Mafia: The Old Country serves as the narrative prequel, set in early 1900s Sicily. It focuses on Enzo Favara and the rigid code of honor that defines the series. While it is the earliest story chronologically, it is designed to be played after the American trilogy for maximum thematic impact.
Start with Mafia: Definitive Edition
This is the perfect entry point. The 1930s setting and Tommy Angelo's story establish the core themes of the series: loyalty, betrayal, and the cost of a life of crime.
Continue with Mafia II: Definitive Edition
Move forward to the 1940s and 50s. The connections to the first game (like the return of an older character) provide excellent continuity.
Experience Mafia III: Definitive Edition
Jump to 1968 New Bordeaux. The gameplay shift to open-world territory control offers a distinct change of pace while concluding the American saga.
Finish with Mafia: The Old Country
Play the prequel last. Understanding the "Omertà" code from the American games makes Enzo's struggle in Sicily much more poignant.
If you prefer history over release order, play The Old Country first, followed by Mafia: Definitive Edition, Mafia II, and Mafia III.

It is a **full standalone game** included in the collection. It is a prequel set in Sicily, featuring a new protagonist, Enzo Favara, and its own complete campaign.
