Dateline: 5/8/2025

The team behind Mafia: The Old Country is hosting a panel at PAX Eat 2025 and have announced that the game will be released on August 8th.

From 2K:

Today, 2K and Hangar 13 unveiled the Official Gameplay Trailer and ‘Breaking Omerta’ Developer Insights video for Mafia: The Old Country, coming to PlayStation®5 (PS5®), Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and NVIDIA GeForce NOW on August 8, 2025. Fans can watch the PAX East developer panel today at 2:00 p.m. EDT on YouTube and Twitch to learn about Mafia: The Old Country directly from its developers, and to pre-order the game today.

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,” said Hangar 13 President Nick Baynes. “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.”

Loyalty, honor and obedience - these qualities are what set Enzo apart from the rest. His journey in the new gameplay trailer features action through both melee and gunplay, mobility through both era-appropriate vehicles and horseback, all within the gritty yet vibrant backdrop of 1900s Sicily. 

“We think there’s a large audience for compelling stories that don’t require massive time commitments,” said 2K President David Ismailer. “We’re excited to offer a game like Mafia: The Old Country in our portfolio, and to provide a linear highly-polished narrative experience that can easily complement the other more persistent games our players also love and engage with on a more consistent basis.”

Mafia: The Old Country will offer two editions: Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition. Both editions are available for pre-order today and will release worldwide on August 8, 2025.

  • The Standard Edition includes the full base game and will be available for $49.99 on PlayStation®5 (PS5®), Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
  • The Deluxe Edition lets players descend into Sicily's criminal underworld in true Cosa Nostra style with a variety of bonus items and will be available for $59.99 on PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
