Game Overview:
Mafia: The Old Country is an action-adventure game developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K.
It is the fourth instalment in the Mafia franchise. Set in 1900s Sicily, it tells the story of the origins of organized crime.
Playing at High settings and 1440p resolution will require an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti when the title launches on August 8th.
Protagonist Enzo Favara is "proving himself with guns," which means a "scarcity of resources" and the need for a more tactical approach.
Hangar 13's action-adventure is the latest title to follow the $50 price trend after Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remastered.
Play as Enzo Favara, the latest member of the Don Farrisi family in 1900s Sicily, when the prequel arrives on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
Hangar 13 also announced a Developer Panel at PAX West on May 8th, where it will debut new gameplay and a behind-the-scenes look.
"While the core of the game is a Mafia game in ways that you’d probably expect, that part of the experience is strongly different," says game director Alex Cox.
"It’s been a chance for us to refresh everything, to bring all of those kinds of Mafia game systems up to current-gen expectations," says game director Alex Cox.
Studio president Nick Baynes calls it "a linear adventure" in a world where "you can go off the beaten path and explore."
The next Mafia will tell the story of "the roots of organized crime with a compelling new cast of character".
The ad showcases a seemingly younger Don Salieri engaged in cover-based combat, knife fighting, horseback riding, and more.
We'll get our next look at the next instalment in the Mafia franchise at The Game Awards later this week, it's been confirmed.
Both games were previously announced with 2025 release windows, and are in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Italian language localization for the user interface and subtitles is also available in the prequel, which launches in 2025.
The next Mafia title touts a new, linear, story-driven experience, and is described as a prequel set in Sicily.
A prominent leaker has claimed that Take-Two Interactive is gearing up for an announcement of the next mainline Mafia title.
Hangar 13 confirmed last year that it was working on a new Mafia game, while reports have also claimed the studio has a Top Spin title in the works.
Neither of the two games has been officially announced yet, but a new report claims the developer will be solely focused on both projects.
The rumoured Mafia prequel will allegedly tell the story of Don Salieri in Sicily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
