It’s been two years since Mafia developer Hangar 13 confirmed it was working on a new entry in its open-world crime series, and the time has finally come to reveal it to the world. It’s called Mafia: The Old Country, and it’s coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC next year.
While 2016's Mafia 3 had the series jump forward in time to the late '60s (the first two games spanned the 1930s, '40s, and '50s between them), The Old Country jumps back, presenting players with a “gritty mafia story set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily.”
“Fight to survive in this dangerous and unforgiving era,” teases the brief blurb accompanying today's trailer, “with action brought to life by the authentic realism and rich storytelling the acclaimed Mafia series is known for.”
And that's pretty much all Hangar 13 is saying for now. Those hoping to learn more about Mafia: The Old Country will have to wait until December, when the studio says it will share additional information.
So there you have it; Mafia: The Old Country is launching for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam Next year. And if you haven't yet enjoyed the Mafia series in its current form, all three titles are discounted (both in their original form and in the remastered Definitive Edition) on Valve's store.
