Mafia Ditches the Jazz Age for a Journey to The Old Country

Mafia is trading its pinstripes and Tommy guns for cobblestone streets and vendetta. Mafia: The Old Country whisks us back to the roots of organized crime, promising a bold, atmospheric tale set in the heart of 1900s Sicily.

Revealed at Gamescom with a cinematic trailer that practically dripped with intrigue, "The Old Country" is more than just a sequel – it's a full-blown reinvention. Consider it a "soft reboot," as the developers put it. Gone are the glitzy speakeasies and car chases; this is about the raw ambition and brutal tactics that built the Mafia we know.

 

Rediscovering Mafia's Storytelling Heart

This isn't about conquering a sprawling map. Mafia: The Old Country is laser-focused on delivering a gripping narrative experience. Remember the original Mafia games that captivated us with their intricate plots and compelling characters? Hangar 13 returns to that formula, promising a "deep linear narrative" that puts storytelling front and center. Prepare for a tale of family, betrayal, and ruthless ambition set against a society on the cusp of transformation.

And what a setting it is. 1900s Sicily is practically a character in itself. Imagine sun-drenched hillsides harboring ancient secrets, bustling marketplaces where danger simmers beneath the surface, and Mount Etna's imposing shadow reflecting its people's fiery passions. This world is where tradition and modernity clash, creating fertile ground for a new breed of criminal empire to rise.

The trailer offered a glimpse of the violence awaiting us, and it's decidedly more intimate than in previous games. Forget spraying bullets from a Thompson; this is the age of knives glinting under the moonlight and the deafening roar of a sawed-off shotgun. "The Old Country" promises a visceral, unforgiving world where survival hinges on cunning and ruthlessness.

 

Stay Tuned for the Full Reveal

While details remain tantalizingly scarce (we're practically starving for more!), Hangar 13 has assured fans that a deeper dive is coming later this year, most likely during The Game Awards in December. Mark your calendars because you won't want to miss this one.

Mafia: The Old Country is set to arrive in 2025, bringing its gritty world to the latest generation of consoles and PC. Get ready to experience the Mafia as you've never seen it before – a world where family ties are tested, vendettas run deep, and every cobblestone street whispers with the promise of both fortune and bloodshed.
