The official reveal of Mafia: The Old Country didn’t give any clear release date, but it was announced that it will be released in 2025. The game is expected to be released between April 1 and December 31, 2025, which coincides with Take-Two’s fiscal year 2026.

Mafia: The Old Country is expected to be priced at $70, the current industry standard. The last game in the series, Mafia: Definitive Edition, was priced at $40, but this new game is expected to be priced higher.

Mafia: The Old Country Platforms
Mafia: The Old Country is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC (Steam). This means that the game is only being developed for the current generation of consoles. A release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch is not planned. There are also rumors that the game may use Unreal Engine 5, which suggests that it could offer a visually impressive experience.
Mafia: The Old Country Trailer
The teaser trailer for Mafia: The Old Country is short but impressive. Set in Sicily, the camera pans around a sawed-off shotgun, a wine bottle and a knife stuck in a table. As the narrator articulates the values of the mafia, he asks the viewer if they are “fully committed to the family”. At the end of the trailer, the landscape of Sicily is revealed, confirming the setting of the game.
The trailer also prompted some fans to theorize that this game could be linked to the first Mafia game. The 1903 date on the wine bottle suggests that the events could date back to the time before Don Salieri emigrated to America.
