Hangar 13, the developer behind the upcoming Mafia: The Old Country has revealed the first proper look at the gameplay of the continuation of one of gaming’s bloodiest organised crime games, and whether you’re new or old to the franchise, it looks every bit of what we hoped once it was first announced.
In a press release, Nick Baynes, Hangar 13 President, said this:
“Mafia: The Old Country is a focused, linear experience that combines quality storytelling, authentic era immersion, and a refined take on the familiar Mafia gameplay. That focus allows us to deliver a story that’s gritty, grounded, brutal, and emotional. Embracing early 1900s era Sicily, this is a mafia origin story that follows our protagonist, Enzo Favara, as he takes the oath and works his way up Don Torrisi’s crime family.”
While we’ve known since it was announced that it’d be an origin story taking us back to the roots of the franchise, it’s good to hear (and see!) that the gritty, brutal gameplay and storytelling will be making a return.
Beyond just the trailer reveal (below), 2K and Hangar 13 announced that there will be two versions of Mafia: The Old Country, both available to pre-order today.
- The Standard Edition includes the full base game and will be available for £44.99 on PlayStation®5 (PS5®), Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

Having previously been a part of multiple outlets over the years, including building an entire gaming team from nothing to something, he thought it best to forge his own path and answer only to himself.
