Mafia: The Old Country Overview
Mafia: The Old Country is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Hangar 13 and published by 2K, set to release on August 8, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Serving as a prequel to the original 2002 Mafia, it is the fourth main installment in the franchise and marks the series’ return after a nine-year hiatus.
Here, players assume the role of Enzo Favara, a young man who escapes a life of indentured servitude in Sicily’s sulfur mines and ultimately joins the Torrisi crime family in the fictional town of San Celeste, previously featured in Mafia II.
The game is a third-person, linear, narrative-driven experience that aligns more closely with the cinematic storytelling of the first two Mafia titles, as opposed to the non-linear approach of Mafia III. There will be no open world, but the game introduces new mechanics to the series like the "Respect" system, which influences interactions with NPCs, and a wound system that affects performance until treated.

Mafia: The Old Country Gameplay
Mafia: The Old Country emphasizes a linear, narrative-driven gameplay experience set in early 1900s Sicily. Departing from the open-world structure of Mafia III, it returns the series to the more focused progression of the first two installments. Players will navigate the game through the perspective of Enzo Favara, and can engage in both stealth and direct confrontations using period-appropriate weapons such as revolvers and stiletto blades. The game also incorporates a cover system with destructible environments.
The new Respect mechanic allows players to intimidate enemies to potentially avoid combat altogether. Additionally, if the player gets wounded, their character’s performance will be negatively affected until it gets treated.
Moreover, missions here are designed to reflect the player's choices and actions, with objectives that can change based on previous decisions. "Family Missions" require balancing the needs of the criminal organization with personal goals, where failure can lead to consequences such as betrayal or lost opportunities. Side activities include managing legitimate businesses as fronts for illegal operations, with a "Heat" level tracking police awareness and adapting their tactics accordingly. Environmental storytelling enriches exploration, offering discoverable backstories and secrets that can lead to unexpected mission opportunities or valuable resources .
