2K Games has finally confirmed that there will be a re-release of Mafia II, which will feature all of the previous DLC packs for the title. The all-inclusive versions of the game, dubbed the “Director's Cut” will cost $30 and will ship in a Greatest Hits package on the PS3. 2K has stated that the Mafia II re-release will feature the core game, add-on content, and the four DLC style packs that were once retail-exclusive. These include the Vegas, Renegade, Greaser and War Hero character schemes which come complete with two cars and two suits to use in the game.
