Hangar 13 is embracing authenticity and a linear narrative-focused structure to properly do justice to the prequel.
From driving through Sicily to infiltrating a villa and taking out its security, Hangar 13's latest is looking good ahead of launch.
It launches on August 8th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC and focuses on Enzo Favara, who enters a life of crime in 1900s Sicily.
Watch as the protagonist joins the Torrisi family and begins his life of crime before the single-player title's launch on August 8th.
One of the central themes in Mafia: The Old Country seems to be the idea of revenge, and how it can often only come from those close to us.
“Our priority has always been to ensure that everything in the game feels authentic,” says Stormind Games' Salvo Fallica.
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.
When it first launched in 2016, Mafia 3 was panned for its bugs and bland gameplay. Does revisiting it 8 years later make the experience any better?
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.
