Omertá has officially been broken. We kicked off PAX East by unveiling our action-packed new Gameplay Trailer, which revealed that Mafia: The Old Country launches August 8, 2025. The game is now available for pre-purchase on Steam.

Shortly after the trailer debuted, PAX East attendees and viewers at home got to witness a live behind-the-scenes look at the past, present, and future of Mafia with the "Family Takes Sacrifice" developer panel, hosted by Kinda Funny's Greg Miller with Hangar 13 Studio President Nick Baynes, Game Director Alex Cox, and Cinematics Director Tomáš Hřebíček. In the VOD above, watch the in-depth discussion of the last 23 years of Mafia, glimpses at how Hangar 13 brought the underworld of 1900s Sicily to life for Mafia: The Old Country, a Q&A session, and more development insights.

The deep dive into the series' history outlined how its thematic and design pillars have remained constant over the decades, and will continue to be explored further in Mafia: The Old Country. The retrospective also offered a rare window into the development of classic Mafia titles, largely thanks to photos and anecdotes provided by Hřebíček, who has worked on every game in the series since the original Mafia back in 2002.

Mafia: The Old Country is now available for pre-purchase on Steam. The game will offer two editions, Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition, both of which release on August 8, 2025.

We're also excited to reveal that Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition will be priced at $49.99 and $59.99 respectively.* Mafia: The Old Country is a compelling story that doesn't require a massive time commitment, and we believe these prices reflect the value of this highly-polished linear narrative experience.

Uncover the origins of organized crime in this gritty mob story set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily. Fight to survive as Enzo Favara and prove your worth to the Cosa Nostra in this immersive third-person action-adventure set during a dangerous, unforgiving era.

Enzo will do anything for a better life. After a brutal childhood of forced labor, he's ready to risk everything to become a man of honor in the Torrisi crime family.

His oath to the Cosa Nostra, with all the power, temptation, and hardship it entails, is a burning reminder of this simple truth:

Family Takes Sacrifice.

This thrilling narrative is brought to life by stunning visuals, cinematic storytelling, and the authentic realism that the critically acclaimed Mafia series is known for. Enzo's story unfolds in a time when skill with a stiletto blade was a deadly asset, a lupara sawed-off shotgun was a go-to firearm, murderous vendettas raged for decades, and mafiosi patrolled their protection rackets on foot, horseback, or behind the wheel of turn-of-the-century motorcars.
