Summary

Mafia: Definitive Editionis one ofthe best video game remakesever because the studio didn’t just improve the graphics. The developers re-created the game from the ground up, including re-recording all of the dialogue and re-casting all the main characters.

Casting for a game like Mafia is interesting because characters that feature in a 1930s gangster story need to have certain accents to fit the time period. This is perhaps why the main voice cast for Mafia: Definitive Edition is different from most games. You don’t see the likes of Troy Baker or Laura Bailey playing major roles. Instead, most of the main characters are voiced by people who don’t have a lot of voice-acting experience. They are more known for their live-action work. Here’s a bit more about them.
