About Mafia
This Mafia play order starts with release order, since each game introduces its city and crew on that assumption. A second list rearranges the same games into story order, which puts the Old Country prequel first and the Definitive remake in place of the 2002 original.
Good to know
Play the Definitive Edition from September 2020 instead of the 2002 original unless you want the untouched version. Reports of a Man of Honor expansion for the Old Country in 2026 remain unconfirmed, so it is not listed as a dated entry.
