Hangar 13 and 2K revealed a new trailer for Mafia: The Old Country this past week at The Game Awards. The trailer shares a small look at the criminal underworld of 1900s Sicily. This game will serve as "the start of a new crime saga for the acclaimed Mafia franchise."
Hangar 13 says that this new game is a linear, narrative-driven game. They specifically mention that Mafia: The Old Country will be "a focused package perfect for fans looking to engross themselves in an unfamiliar world of danger and intrigue."
You will play as a completely new, original protagonist name Enzo. His story "unfolds in a time when skill with a stiletto blade was a deadly asset, a lupara sawed-off shotgun was a go-to firearm, murderous vendettas raged for decades, and mafiosi patrolled their protection rackets on foot, horseback, or behind the wheel of turn-of-the-century motorcars."
Mafia: The Old Country is slated to be released in the summer of 2025.
Through grit and determination, Enzo has survived a childhood of indentured labor in Sicily’s hellish sulfur mines. Now, through a twist of fate, he has the opportunity to join Don Torrisi's crime family, and will do whatever it takes to carve out a better life for himself. By swearing an oath, Enzo has committed himself to the Torrisi family's code of honor, with all the power and hardship it entails. He must never forget this simple truth: Family Takes Sacrifice.
“Mafia: The Old Country is a love letter to old-style, gritty Mafia stories where players can uncover the origins of organized crime,” said Nick Baynes, President of Hangar 13, “Everyone at Hangar 13 is committed to creating the most authentic and intense story of the franchise, and we can’t wait for players to experience the journey with Enzo.”
