Story Highlight
  • Mafia: The Old Country is a prequel to the original Mafia game set in early 20th-century Sicily.
  • Gameplay details are still limited, but this entry is said to take the series back to its roots.
  • More information about the game will be released in December 2024.

At Gamescom 2024, the big news was the official reveal of Mafia: The Old Country, the newest game in the popular series. Fans have been waiting for a new Mafia game, and this announcement lived up to the hype.

This entry will be a prequel to the original Mafia, diving into the origins of organized crime in Italy in the early 1900s.

Why it matters: Back in April, it was reported that a new Mafia entry would be revealed this year. Now, it’s finally been teased, and more information will be coming out in December.

Mafia: The Old Country takes players to Sicily, where they can explore the roots of the mafia. Unlike earlier games that focused on crime families in the US, this prequel is set in the mafia’s birthplace.

With the backdrop of a changing society, the game will give players a unique view into how the mafia began. The announcement trailer highlighted the game’s dark and intense atmosphere.

The stunning visuals vividly recreate early 20th-century Sicily. The trailer also teased a deep story with themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the tough realities of mafia life. 

While specific gameplay details are still under wraps, fans can expect several features based on job listings and other reports. As reported earlier this year, Mafia: The Old Country will reboot the franchise and return it to its roots.

A recent job listing also hinted at stealth and multiplayer elements in the upcoming entry.

One of the most exciting parts is the setting. Early 20th-century Sicily is a fascinating time, and the game will probably explore the social and economic reasons behind the rise of the mafia.

The Mafia series is known for its fascinating stories and rich historical settings, and Mafia: The Old Country aims to keep that tradition alive. As a prequel, it has the chance to expand the series’ background and offer a fresh look at the events leading up to the later games.

While the exact release date hasn’t been announced, fans can expect more details soon. The developers plan to share new information, including gameplay footage, character details, and story insights, in December 2024.
