Mafia: The Old Country is reportedly scheduled for "Summer 2025," as spotted in a leaked trailer. Developed by Hangar 13, Mafia: The Old Country has been previously confirmed to roll out on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
The next chapter in the long-running Mafia saga, Mafia: The Old Country, takes the franchise back to its roots and chronicles the beginnings of organized crime in 20th-century Sicily, Italy. With a focus on linear storytelling, Hangar 13 devs, who were also behind Mafia 3's branching narrative, look to be doing things differently in The Old Country. According to the studio president, Nick Baynes, the action-adventure title aims to deliver a story experience on par with a "classic mob movie." The forthcoming 2K game was first revealed in August at Gamescom, with 2025 as its release year. Owing to a new leak, Mafia: The Old Country's release window now seems to have been narrowed down further, giving anticipating fans a clearer idea.

Mafia: The Old Country Release Window Leaks Ahead of The Game Awards
Since teasing Mafia: The Old Country earlier this year, 2K had announced its plan to offer fans another look at the game in December. Eventually, it was confirmed that the presentation would air at The Game Awards 2024 on December 12. Due to the leak, the release window appears to have been announced several hours ahead of the publisher's original schedule.

Uncover the origins of organized crime in Mafia: The Old Country, a gritty mob story set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily. Fight to survive as Enzo Favara and prove your worth to the Cosa Nostra in this immersive third-person action-adventure set during a dangerous, unforgiving era.
This thrilling narrative is brought to life by stunning visuals, cinematic storytelling, and the authentic realism that the critically acclaimed Mafia series is known for. Enzo's story unfolds in a time when skill with a stiletto blade was a deadly asset, a lupara sawed-off shotgun was a go-to firearm, murderous vendettas raged for decades, and mafiosi patrolled their protection rackets on foot, horseback, or behind the wheel of turn-of-the-century motorcars.
Through grit and determination, Enzo has survived a childhood of indentured labor in Sicily’s hellish sulfur mines. Now, through a twist of fate, he has the opportunity to join Don Torrisi's crime family, and will do whatever it takes to carve out a better life for himself.
By swearing an oath, Enzo has committed himself to the Torrisi family's code of honor, with all the power and hardship it entails. He must never forget this simple truth:
Family Takes Sacrifice.
