Sometimes it’s just black and white, Mafia: Definitive Edition gets Noir Mode

Recently, 2K Games and Hangar 13 announced that it has released Noir Mode, a new free post-launch DLC update, for Mafia: Definitive Edition, which is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. This new update will allow players to experience the game in black-and-white, with new quality-of-life mechanics.

2K and Hangar 13 released the first post-launch update for Mafia: Definitive Edition, which adds new features free for all players. Among these new features is Noir Mode, a visual option that paints Mafia: Definitive Edition’s gameplay and cinematics with a vintage black-and-white look, complete with moody film grain effects to further accentuate the game’s Prohibition Era aesthetic.

The update also includes new heads-up display (HUD) options that allow players to switch the in-world main objective marker on and off; switch mini-map enemy markers on and off in all difficulty settings; enable or disable navigation features like turn-by-turn instructions and mini-map GPS; and enable a new minimal HUD mode that hides HUD elements like the mini-map, speedometer, and objective text.

Mafia: Definitive Edition – a comprehensive, built-from-the-ground-up remake of the original Mafia – launched on September 25 to critical praise and overwhelming support from fans. The remake features an updated script filled with rich new dialogue, expanded backstories, and additional cutscenes. Players will also find all-new gameplay sequences and features, best-in-class cinematics, a re-recorded orchestral score, and other enhancements. It’s the Mafia players remember, only much more.
