The recent gameplay trailer for “Mafia: The Old Country” offers plenty of thrilling scenes, including car and horse pursuits as well as intense firefights against adversaries. But instead of focusing on sheer action, developer Hangar 13 intends to create a sense of “life-or-death” urgency with the combat, requiring players to think strategically when making their moves.
In a recent Developer Insights video, Game Director Joshua Zammit explained that as character Enzo demonstrates proficiency with firearms, it results in a shortage of resources. This means players need to employ a more strategic approach when engaging in combat.
Here’s the scenario: The knife serves as your stealthy weapon of choice for approaching foes undetected and carrying out silent takedowns. But don’t be fooled by its quiet nature; you’ll also find yourself in close combat situations involving knives, intensifying the “survival instinct” feel.
According to Zammit, the knife plays a crucial role in the gameplay. It reflects Sicilian culture significantly. To make our gameplay as engaging as possible, we aim to create an intense atmosphere, one that feels like a life-or-death situation. Consequently, during knife duels or gunfights, players will truly feel their lives are at stake.
The game titled “Mafia: The Old Country” will be released on August 8th, available for play on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Unlike its predecessor “Mafia 3”, this installment adopts a more linear storyline, focusing on the character Enzo Favara in the 1900s Sicily setting. The standard version of the game retails for $49.99, while the Deluxe Edition costs $59.99. For further information, click here.
13th Hangar is conducting a Developer Q&A session at PAX East right now at 11 AM Pacific Time. They’ll be sharing additional details during the event, but they also hint at further updates before the release, so keep an eye out for more news!
