In 2002, the Czech developer Gathering of Developers created an open-world title. Called Mafia, it featured a mature storyline about a man’s rise from simple life, through the ladders of a New York crime family. The game featured a simulated driving feature, a gripping tale, and an open sandbox.

The series gave birth to two sequels over the years, and one recent in 2021. Many also consider the original 2002 game to be one of the greatest games ever. With this year being the 20th anniversary of the series, 2K will be celebrating the legacy of the title in the Mafia style.
Starting September 1 to September 5, the original Mafia game will go free on Steam. Starting at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, users can relive the game and go back to the roots of the series.
