With the release of Mafia: The Old Country on the horizon, Hangar 13 has raised fans’ expectations by addressing one of the most debated issues: the game’s duration. In a recent interview with the Czech media Vortex, the developers stated that the new installment will offer a similar experience in scope to Mafia: Definitive Edition, although no specific number of chapters or hours of gameplay has been provided. The promise of a crime-centered narrative remains the core of the development, emphasizing that the game will maintain a linear format with a focus on the story of Enzo Favara, set in Sicily.
Sometimes you just don’t feel like a 100-hour game
For those looking for a comparison with previous releases, the Mafia: Definitive Edition campaign can be completed in just over 10 hours, increasing to 13 hours if side missions are taken into account. Achieving 100% completion could take up to 24 hours, suggesting that Mafia: The Old Country might follow a similar path. Some players find the duration appropriate for the type of game, while others criticize the price of 50 euros in relation to what they perceive as a short experience.
The president of Hangar 13 has addressed these concerns, assuring that the quality of the game will be AAA level and that the cost should not be a cause for concern.
The title will be released on August 8th, and it will be interesting to see how these expectations and community reactions will be addressed when it debuts in the market. For now, it’s good news for those who don’t have all the time in the world and who don’t want to give up gaming.
