“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.”

Loyalty, honor and obedience – these qualities are what set Enzo apart from the rest. His journey in the new gameplay trailer features action through both melee and gunplay, mobility through both era-appropriate vehicles and horseback, all within the gritty yet vibrant backdrop of 1900s Sicily.

Fans can get a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process of Mafia: The Old Country in the ‘Breaking Omerta’ Developer Insights video. 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. Building an emotional and engaging narrative filled with the unforgettable twists that define the best crime sagas, the game offers a mix of deep storytelling and high-intensity life or death gameplay. Mafia: The Old Country will also be a distinctive experience for the series, being the first to leverage the power of Unreal Engine 5.

“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.”
