Mafia: Old Country There are release dates: August 8, 2025, PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.
The gangster game developed by Hangar 13 also features a new trailer that shows combat and new stealth mechanics.
Below, we also have some new screenshots showing the Mafia: The Old Country.
The announcement comes with some interesting quotes from developers and publisher 2K. Hangar 13 President Nick Baynes describes the Mafia as an “old country” as a “focused, linear experience that combines quality storytelling, real era immersion and a sophisticated attitude to familiar mafia gameplay”.
He continued: “This focus allows us to tell a story of tenacity, rooting, cruelty and emotional excitement. Embrace Sicily in the early 1900s, a story of the origins of the mafia, following our protagonist, Enzo Favara, who was sworn in and worked hard.”
2K President David Ismailer added: “We don't think that appealing stories require a lot of time commitment.
“We are excited to offer games like the Mafia: the old country in our portfolio and provide a linear highly polished narrative experience that can easily complement other more enduring games that our players also like and interact with more consistently.”
According to these comments, the Mafia: The old country will be a relatively short matter. There is no multiplayer mode, so the story is the entire package.
Maybe that's why the Standard Edition costs $49.99 on all platforms, while the Deluxe Edition costs $59.99. Here is the decomposition, each 2k:

In December, IGN interviews Baynes and Game Director Alex Cox about everything about the Mafia: Old Countryand the prospects that are opposite to the GTA 6. GTA 6 Delay from Fall 2025 to May 26, 2026of course this is no longer a problem.
In the interview, the two dismissed the comparison with GTA 6 and insisted that the Mafia: The old country should not be regarded as an open world game at all.
Instead, the couple persevered: Mafia: The old country is more like Mafia 1 and 2 than the open world Mafia 3. This is a “linear, narratively driven” game, a “focused packaging” that provides a “movie experience”. You might find yourself around the real representation of Sicily in the 1900s in the Mafia: the Old Country, even riding like other rock star games, but the resemblance to Rockstar Games stops there.
