Mafia Definitive Edition will have a new cast

The characters in the remake of the original Mafia will sound different - because the roles of the old characters have been given to completely new actors.

Mafia: Definitive Edition will not only deliver a new outfit to the cult game but will change or expand a lot of things in it. This includes the presentation of the characters themselves, primarily the protagonist Tommy Angel. Namely, it has been confirmed that the cast in the remake will be completely new, and it was built around actor Andrew Bongiorno, who will replace Michael Sorvin in the role of the main character.

The reason why the actors changed is that the creators of the Definitive Edition could not use the old materials, and although they initially considered the idea of ​​hiring an old cast, they concluded that too much time had passed since the original game. The voices of the actors have changed and it would no longer be convincing. Sorvino is 42 years old and could probably easily reprise the role of Tommy Angel, but it was concluded that the chemistry among the actors would be better if this is the first encounter with the Mafia series for all the actors.

That is, the story holds for the English localization of the play - in the case of the Czech localization, the main character will again be played by actor Marek Vasut, and several other actors will reprise roles from the first play.

Another reason for this change is that for Mafia: Definitive Edition, it’s not just actors who would lend their voice to the characters in the game (as was once required for the original Mafia). Instead, we are also looking for actors who can act out certain emotions through facial expressions, because today's technology is still able to show more than was possible twenty years ago.
