Mafia: The Old Country doesn’t have Italian voice acting, but 2K’s now revealed the reason behind what initially looked to be a rather perplexing omission – Hangar 13’s elected to go for Sicilian instead.
In case you missed it, The Old Country was revealed right at the end of Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, with a teaser trailer confirming a 2025 release window and offering a taste of the game’s depiction of the mod underworld in 1900s Sicily.
Not long after that showing, fans checking out the game’s Steam store listing noticed that it didn’t have full audio for Italian checked in its list of supported languages, with English, French, German, Spanish, Czech, and Russian all having that box ticked. Given the thing’s set in Italy, people were a bit confused, but it’s ok, 2K’s now stepped in to clarify the situation.
