As a seasoned gamer with a deep-rooted love for the Mafia franchise, I can’t help but be enthralled by the announcement of “Mafia: The Old Country“. Having played through the original trilogy multiple times, I’ve always been captivated by the authenticity and immersion that Hangar 13 has managed to achieve. The decision to include Sicilian voice acting and Italian language localization for UI and subtitles is a stroke of genius, adding another layer of realism to the game’s setting in 1900s Sicily.
13th Hangar unveiled “Mafia: The Old Country” during Gamescom Opening Night Live, following a flurry of rumors. This upcoming title is slated for release in 2025. As of now, specific gameplay details remain undisclosed; however, the official Twitter account has confirmed that Sicilian voice acting will be featured in the game.
“The essence of ‘Mafia’ lies at its core, as stated by the show’s official Twitter. To maintain this authenticity, the upcoming game ‘Mafia: The Old Country’ will feature voice acting in Sicilian dialect, fitting for its 1900s Sicily setting. Additionally, the user interface and subtitles will be localized in Italian, enhancing the overall immersive experience.”
The game titled “Mafia: The Old Country” is set to debut on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC platforms. However, fans anticipating its release in the early part of next year will need to exercise patience as the publisher 2K has announced a release date within the fiscal year 2026, which extends beyond April 1st, 2025. This prequel is rumored to feature Don Salieri, possibly in his youthful years, and it’s expected to offer a more structured gameplay experience compared to the open-world style of “Mafia 3”.
Keep an eye out for further updates and possible gameplay previews over the next few months. For now, you can dive back into the Mafia universe as Mafia: Definitive Edition, a remake of the original game, is currently accessible on Game Pass. This makes it an ideal moment to reacquaint yourself with the series!
The essence of the Mafia series lies in its authenticity, and this is reflected in Mafia: The Old Country with voice acting in the Sicilian dialect, fitting for the game’s 1900s Sicily backdrop. Moreover, the Italian language will be localized not only within the game’s user interface but also through subtitles for a more immersive experience.
