2K and Hangar 13 presented a new chapter of the Mafia saga at the Game Awards, set in Sicily in the early 1900s: Mafia: The Old Country. This title marks a return to the franchise’s roots, immersing players in the brutal world of organized crime of the time. With a strong narrative component, the game promises a graphically impressive cinematic experience. The story, full of danger and intrigue, features Enzo as the protagonist, a man who tries to escape a difficult childhood in the Sicilian sulfur mines. An unexpected opportunity leads him to join Don Torrisi’s crime family, where he will have to fight to carve out a better life for himself, including revenge, murders and protection rackets.
Mafia: The Old Country stands out for its historical accuracy and attention to detail. The setting, weapons and gameplay dynamics faithfully reflect the era, with a combat system that combines stealth mechanics and high-voltage shooting. “Mafia: The Old Country is a love letter to gritty, old-school Mafia stories,” said Nick Baynes, president of Hangar 13. “Our goal is to give players the most authentic and intense story ever written for the franchise .” After 22 years and over 35 million copies sold, the Mafia series returns with a new chapter that promises to excite long-time fans and conquer a new audience.
