Developer Hangar 13 and 2K Games has announced the launch date for Mafia: The Old Country, and it’s August 8th for PC and consoles.
Pre-orders are also open now, with a new “developer insights” video released for the title as well. 2K says: “Discover how Hangar 13 meticulously brought early 1900s Sicily to life, creating a stunning and period-authentic backdrop to tell this unforgettable mafia origin story.”
“Mafia: The Old Country is a focused, linear experience that combines quality storytelling, authentic era immersion and a refined take on the familiar Mafia gameplay,” said Hangar 13 President Nick Baynes. “That focus allows us to deliver a story that’s gritty, grounded, brutal and emotional. Embracing early 1900s era Sicily, this is a mafia origin story that follows our protagonist, Enzo Favara, as he takes the oath and works his way up Don Torrisi’s crime family.”
A regular trailer has also been dropped, as seen below:
“We think there’s a large audience for compelling stories that don’t require massive time commitments,” said 2K President David Ismailer. “We’re excited to offer a game like Mafia: The Old Country in our portfolio, and to provide a linear highly-polished narrative experience that can easily complement the other more persistent games our players also love and engage with on a more consistent basis.”
