What is the Mafia The Old Country release date? After eight years in late-60s New Bordeaux, developer Hangar 13 is finally bringing us back to where it all began. That's right, we're hopping continents for the next big Mafia installment, trading the streets of America for the vineyards of Sicily, but that's not to say wine is the only liquid you'll be staining your hands with.
Promising an exploration of Mafia's criminal origins, new PC game. Read on to find out everything we know about The Old Country so far, including its release date.
Mafia The Old Country release date
Mafia The Old Country release date is Friday, August 8, 2025. This launch date first appeared in a 2K leak, and it has now been confirmed in the 'Whatever It Takes' gameplay trailer.
Mafia The Old Country will be available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Mafia The Old Country is now available to preorder, and doing so ensures that you receive the Soldato cosmetics park and an exclusive charm at launch. This is the only bonus available to claim with the standard edition. The deluxe edition includes the Padrino and Gatto Nero cosmetic packs, plus the digital artbook and original soundtrack.
The Mafia The Old Country launch date leak occurred on a now-edited post over on the LATAM version of the official Steam hub. While there was still a possibility that this could have been a placeholder, this launch date has been confirmed.
2K originally revealed Mafia The Old Country would arrive between April 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025 in a press release accompanying the game's reveal trailer at Gamescom 2024. This launch window was narrowed to Summer 2025 during The Initiation trailer shown at The Game Awards 2024.
The Old Country launch window departs from Hangar 13's previous Mafia releases. Mafia 3 arrived on October 7, 2016, while Mafia Definitive Edition launched on September 25, 2020. Our money was on a late September or early October 2025 drop, but the good news is we'll be getting our hands on it even sooner than originally predicted.
Mafia The Old Country trailers
The first trailer we had for Mafia The Old Country is the official reveal teaser from Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024. Punctuated by gorgeous art, fine wine, and a hefty sawn-off shotgun, this sneak peek at what's to come sets the stage for the game beautifully.
We already know The Old Country is set in 1900s Sicily, and the trailer's very first shot features a bottle of wine labelled 'Sicilla 1903' – a fine vintage, we're sure. We do see the back of a mystery figure make their way across the camera at the end of the trailer, though their identity is never confirmed.
From what we know of Mafia lore, we initially posited this figure could be a younger Don Salieri. After all, he emigrated from Sicily to America in 1908. We also surmised that the narrator could be Don Peppone monologuing Salieri's inauguration into the Peppone family after he settled in Lost Heaven.
However, the prequel theory was shot dead with The Initiation trailer. Instead, we're introduced to a new protagonist, Enzo Favara, as he takes his oath to the Torrisi family. Here we get sneak peeks at Sicily itself, as well as some of the cinematic and combat moments we'll get to enjoy.
The Old Country's first official gameplay trailer kicks off with Don Torrisi espousing the virtues of honor, loyalty, and obedience to Enzo. "You took care of Messina, but this matter is not yet resolved," he says. "Will you help me bring it to a close?" The gameplay footage that ensues features Enzo doing just that. We see glimpses of a hectic town car chase, a gunfight in an opulent hall, and a close-quarters knife fight.
Mafia The Old Country story
According to the official site, Mafia The Old Country is set in the "brutal underworld" of 1900s Sicily. Following antihero Enzo Favara, the gritty crime drama will have you live out "every tense moment of Enzo's descent into Sicily's clandestine criminal underworld."
In a press release accompanying the reveal trailer Hangar 13 established that we're in for a fight for survival, "with action brought to life by the authentic realism and rich storytelling that the critically acclaimed Mafia series is known for."
Cementing the studio's pledge to bring us a classic Mafia story, Hangar 13 president Nick Baynes promises a return to "the roots of what fans love about the franchise, crafting a deep, linear narrative with that classic mob movie feeling, visiting a stunning new setting, and delivering it all in a tight, focused package perfect for fans of immersive experiences."
Mafia The Old Country news
Shortly after its Hangar 13 responded quickly, stating that not only would the voice acting come in Sicilian, but "Italian language localization will be available for both in-game UI and via subtitles."
In May 2025, the Mafia The Old Country system requirements were revealed, and it's not looking good for players with older rigs.
