The Mafia is Back: Mafia: The Old Country
For all you Mafia fans, get ready for a wild ride! Mafia: The Old Country is set to drop sometime between June and September of 2025, and it looks absolutely incredible.

This prequel introduces a new protagonist, Enzo Favara, and his journey is going to change everything we thought we knew about the Mafia. Hangar 13 is developing it using Unreal Engine 5, so the graphics are going to be stunning. Think stunning visuals, a gripping story focused on survival, loyalty (or betrayal!), and ruthless ambition. Pre-order now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam!
