About Mafia 2 Online
Born from passion, built by the community.
A Dream of Multiplayer
Mafia 2 Online grew out of a simple belief: Empire Bay was always meant to be experienced with friends. What began as a handful of multiplayer experiments has become one of the most ambitious modifications the community has ever built.
Over more than a decade, a rotating cast of modders reverse-engineered the game's engine, hooked a networking layer into a title that never shipped with one, and forged a server architecture where hundreds of players share the same streets at once. This is how it happened.
