As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must say the announcement of Mafia: The Old Country has me both excited and cautious. Having grown up with the original Mafia trilogy, the prospect of exploring the roots of organized crime in 1900s Sicily is tantalizing. The gritty, brutal underworld setting seems like a perfect fit for the series, and I’m eager to step into the shoes of Enzo Favara and prove my worth to the Cosa Nostra.
In summer 2025, globally, “Mafia: The Old Country” will be available for PC, PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. This highly anticipated release marks a significant shift in the series as the new Mafia game transports players from 20th-century America to 20th-century Italy. Additionally, there is also a change in the game’s engine.
In the past, Mafia games were powered by a distinct in-house engine. This set them apart from other open-world games due to their exclusive toolset. However, when Mafia: The Old Country launches, it will bear a resemblance to Unreal Engine 5 titles, as it’s the engine they’ve opted for. The reasons behind this switch by Hangar 13 and publisher 2K are not disclosed, but it might be to simplify the development process.
Using Unreal Engine 5 may require a substantial upfront cost, but it simplifies the process of integrating new developers since they won’t need to master a distinct set of tools. Additionally, technical support becomes more manageable due to the wealth of resources accessible to those who license Unreal Engine 5.
The graphics generated by Unreal Engine 5 are truly stunning, yet it’s encountered some performance hurdles, notably frame rate problems. Whether or not Mafia: The Old Country will smoothly operate on this engine is still uncertain.
Worldwide premiere for “Mafia: The Old Country” is slated for the summer season of 2025. For additional details, continue reading below.
Explore the roots of criminal syndicates in ‘Mafia: The Old Country’, a hardboiled mafia tale that unfolds in the ruthless underworld of 1900s Sicily. Play as Enzo Favara and demonstrate your loyalty to the Cosa Nostra in this gripping third-person action-adventure game, set amidst an unforgiving and perilous time.
The narrative of the game proceeds, detailing a period marked by the importance of a sharp stiletto blade, a handy sawed-off shotgun, longstanding vendettas, and mafia control exerted on the streets through various means including foot, horseback, or motorcars from the turn of the century. Enzo, who endured a harsh childhood in Sicily’s sulfur mines as an indentured laborer, finds himself presented with the chance to join Don Torrisi’s crime organization. In his pursuit of a better future, Enzo is willing to go to any lengths. By taking an oath, he binds himself to the Torrisi family’s code of honor, understanding the power and challenges it brings. A fundamental principle he should always remember: Family means Sacrifice.
