Look, we know, it’s a terrible headline. Anyway, Mafia: The Old Country has just been announced right at the end of Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, and it’s set to release in 2025.
The next game in the Mafia series got a nice teaser trailer, featuring plenty of wine, guns, oil paintings, and chatter about bad things going down if you don’t commit yourself to a family. Yep, those of us who unashamedly love The Godfather so much they write unhinged features about indie games look to be eating good here.
“Uncover the origins of organized crime with a gritty mob story set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily,” reads the plot summary in an accompanying 2K press release, “Fight to survive in this dangerous and unforgiving era, with action brought to life by the authentic realism and rich storytelling that the critically acclaimed Mafia series is known for.”
