Step into an alternate history of Empire Bay in Mafia II - The Betrayal of Jimmy, an action-packed expansion that redefines the stakes for one of the city's most dangerous mercenaries. Set in a parallel timeline of the 1950s, this DLC offers players a gritty, high-octane experience far removed from the main narrative of Vito Scaletta, focusing instead on the rise and fall of a professional killer.

A Story of Treachery and Revenge

In this alternate universe version of the iconic Empire Bay, players step into the shoes of Jimmy, a rugged and highly skilled gun-for-hire. Known for his lethal precision and "cleaner" reputation, Jimmy is a man who works alone and lives by a simple code: any job for a price. However, even the most seasoned professionals can be caught off guard.

The plot thickens when Jimmy’s long-time associates, Sal Gravina and Tam Brody, present him with a lucrative opportunity: dismantle the operations of the local Triads and Bombers. But the job is more than just business—it is a setup. Once his task is complete, Sal and Tam attempt to eliminate the "loose end" that Jimmy has become, leading to his imprisonment. After escaping custody, Jimmy is left with nothing but a singular, burning motivation: to hunt down those who betrayed him and exact a heavy price for their treachery.
