- It would be interesting to have an online mode for the Mafia: DE, which should be similar to GTA Online.
- The game has all the elements of multiplayer: weapons, vehicles, a huge map, and hideouts.
- Fans have expressed their desire to have a multiplayer version since playing online in the 1930s would be fun.
Mafia: Definitive Edition has a rich narrative and a storyline, but unlike Rockstar’s other open-world titles, such as GTA Series and Red Dead Redemption 2, it hasn’t received a multiplayer feature. Let’s see why it should have this feature.
GTA Online But In 1930s
Red Dead Online was set in the 1899s era and GTA Online is set in the 2010s era so it would be interesting to have an online mode or a community mod for the Mafia: Definitive Edition which would take place in the 1930s era.
Huge Potential For Multiplayer
People enjoy playing GTA online because of the freedom to pack so many things into a single game. This could be the same case for the Mafia: Definitive Edition, but the selling point will be in its old-time period.

The game has a huge map based on Chicago which is already rigged with houses, shops, hideouts, and warehouses – all of which could be used feasibly for many purposes online. There are also a wide variety of weapons to use.
People can form gangs and families by utilizing the weapons, locations, and the character’s skins.
Bank Robberies & Other Missions
Mafia: Definitive Edition consists of one of the most visually appealing interiors, which can be found in its in-game missions. It has a separate mission for bank robbery, which we could use in multiplayer to rob the bank with our friends, similar to that in GTA Online.
Incredible Roleplay Potential
Text RP
The text-based roleplay feature in Mafia: DE could be similar to the one in GTA Online. Here, you could roleplay any character, including a mafia member, a cop, or a shop clerk.
People spend hours roleplaying on these servers because it replicates real life but they can break any rules. Here, you lose your hard-earned weapons or drugs if you die so there are consequences and this element hooks the players due to its high immersion.
Voice RP
It is similar to Text-RP, but it uses a mic to use your voice so you can roleplay. It is the most popular category of a server, and many streamers are still using this feature on GTA Online. Therefore, releasing it on Mafia: DE would have a similar impact.
This, paired with the 1930s atmosphere, classic vehicles, and vintage weapons, would be a game-changer and would certainly hook players to the multiplayer mode.
Other Server Modes
Racing
Mafia: Definitive Edition has a wide range of vehicles and it also has the ability to drive your vehicle in a manual drive mode. It would be fascinating to have racing servers, a few of which could be dedicated to manual driving to see who wins the race.

Derby
Apart from races, community-made obstacles and maps would be interesting to play in. This could also include a derby mode similar to the one GTA Online has, where vehicles drive to stay on course and avoid falling off the created bounds.
Gun Game
With the collections of old-school weapons, we could also have a gun game mode. This way, all the weapons can be progressively increased in size and fire rate after we get a kill against other online players.
The Idea Was One There
Mafia 2 had a multiplayer mod that was similar to GTA San Andreas Multiplayer (SAMP) and had a similar text-based server layout. Players enjoyed a fair share of this multiplayer mod, so Rockstar should implement it in their Definitive Edition as well.
The Idea Was Abandoned
Although there wasn’t any official creation of the online mode, a team of modders were aiming to create a multiplayer mod for the Mafia: Definitive Edition. However, this idea was abandoned for some undisclosed reasons.
Fans Still Want The Multiplayer
Despite this idea being dropped, fans are still eager to get an online option for it. They have expressed their desire to have a multiplayer mod much similar to FiveM or RageMP for GTA V in comments of a fan-made multiplayer project for Mafia: DE.

Mafia 4?
While Rockstar Games hasn’t stated anything, it is reported that Mafia 4 is in the works and is gonna officially be revealed. Unlike the Definitive Edition, the newer Mafia 4 might arrive with a multiplayer mode.
