WIN CONDITIONS, NOT A CUTSCENE

Ending and post-game status: unresolved

No public source in this review establishes a final cutscene, the last story event or the post-game state. This page records that unresolved ending question and separates it from documented conquest goals. Achievements do not by themselves prove how or whether the story ends.

What the wiki does say: you advance by taking territory and dealing with named members, then you confront the boss. Killing the boss destroys the family. Achievements include eliminating the Vice Kings first, eliminating all rival families, and taking control of all businesses. The announcement of future updates does not establish an ending, credits sequence or post-game system.
