Everything you need to know about the release of Mafia: The Old Country

Mafia: The Old Country takes you into the criminal underworld of 20th-century Sicily. For the game's release on August 7, we've gathered all the important info so you're fully prepared. The best trailers, story, system requirements, edition comparison – everything you need is right here.

What is Mafia: The Old Country?

With Mafia: The Old Country, developer Hangar 13 (Mafia: Definitive Edition, Mafia 3: Definitive Edition) and publisher 2K Games take you back to the origins of the Mafia saga. This action-adventure is set in early 1900s Sicily, where you take on the role of young Enzo Favara – a poor mine worker who wants more from life and joins the influential Torrisi family. But rising through the ranks of the criminal world demands loyalty, and the constant struggle for power is a challenge. Especially when blood must be shed in service of the "family." Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, Mafia: The Old Country offers believable environments, cinematic cutscenes, and characters that feel like they've stepped straight out of a Mafia epic.

Unlike the more recent series entries, The Old Country features a tightly directed, mostly linear story that uncompromisingly takes you through Enzo’s path into the family. You'll experience intense third-person combat with melee and firearms, nerve-wracking stealth missions, and cinematic chases – on foot, on horseback, or in the earliest automobiles of the era. The focus is clearly on storytelling: each mission takes you deeper into the Torrisi family's machinations and lets you feel the tension between honor and betrayal up close.
