Mafia: The Old Country - reveal the dark world of Sicily!

The anticipation increases: "Mafia: The Old Country" will be released on August 8, 2025. The latest part of the popular series, developed by Hangar 13, promises a gripping experience that plays the player in the fascinating world of Sicily in the early 20th century. With a new gameplay trailer, which is around 9 minutes long, exciting insights into the fights and the movements of the main character Enzo Favara were given. The atmosphere in the game is described as rich and urgent, shaped by beautiful landscapes and dark church interiors who perfectly underline the player's dramatic experiences. In this prequel, the players learn how Enzo, who escapes from brutal mining work, rises in the Torrisi criminal family while navigating through a linearly told story.

There is special attention to the game mechanics, which includes a combination of stealth elements and brutal fights. Enzo uses stilettos and throwing knives to defeat its opponents, the limited ammunition designs the gameplay more slow and strategy. Instead of shooting wildly to shoot, tactics and survival are used here. Players have to act well, because every ball counts - a motto that underlines the feeling of urgency and resource management. In an interview, Alex Cox, the Game Director, emphasized that battles are not only shaped by shooting techniques, but also by traditional knife duels that take place in crucial moments of history.

optical highlights and technical foundation

A great point at "Mafia: The Old Country" is the technology behind the game. Driven by Unreal Engine 5, the game offers breathtaking graphics and realistic lighting effects. Players can look forward to handmade environments that not only look pretty, but also increase the feeling for the time and the settings of the game. Regardless of whether in a settlement, a catacomb or a magnificent villa - the variety of environments will leave a lasting impression. With 60 frames per second on next-gen consoles, a cinematic experience is created that redefines the borders of video games.

The fights are not only limited to close combat. Enzo will also take part in trips with the classic engine vehicles of the early 20th century, which should give the player a nostalgic feeling for the time. Exchange of weapons and the need to think strategically when ammunition is running out will also be essential aspects of the game. COX emphasizes that even the use of an explosive lantern is part of the tactical considerations.

"Mafia: The Old Country" will be available for PC, Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5. The price is set at 49.99 euros, while the deluxe version, which contains additional cosmetic in-game items as well as the soundtrack and a digital artbook, is offered for 59.99 euros.
