The second Mafia would refine what we saw in the first one. And although the third one left us with mixed feelings, it is a game full of interesting ideas and incredible mechanics. That&#8217;s why, even if it doesn&#8217;t have the popularity of GTA, the announcement of a new Mafia is incredible news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Opening Night Live of Gamescom, a new Mafia title was announced. <strong>Named Mafia: The Old Country, a teaser was presented to us where we could infer some aspects about it<\/strong>. With Italian newspapers scattered on a table and an older man looking out a window, it was clear that we were not in the USA. And this has been confirmed by its developers, the people from Hangar 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mafia: The Old Country - Official Teaser Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/crDUx5suLm4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The peculiarity of Mafia: The Old Country is that it will take us back to the origins of the Mafia. <strong>Set in the early years of the 20th century in Sicily, we will experience a linear story that will allow us to learn how this organization originated<\/strong>. In addition, we will also see how it shaped what the characters of the franchise will experience years later. They have emphasized that, despite the obvious change that comes with the change of era, they seek to maintain the realism and emphasis on narrative for which the Mafia saga is known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they have promised to show us more in December, Hangar 13&#8217;s general manager, Roman Hlad\u00edk, has asked us to be patient. <strong>Although they still can&#8217;t show anything else, their interest is to show as much as they can when the time is right<\/strong>. So we can only speculate about what awaits us in this Mafia, barely formed, from the early 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mafia: The Old Country has a release date of 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC<\/strong>. The remake of the first game, Mafia: Definitive Edition, was released in 2020 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and it&#8217;s an excellent way to satisfy your cravings while waiting for more information about this interesting journey to the heart of Sicily.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Mafia: Definitive Edition\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/383579a5-2d49-4ea4-8882-7038e92569f7\/385922030\/mafia-definitive-edition-mafia-icn.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Mafia: Definitive Edition<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/mafia-definitive-edition.softonic.com\/?ex=RAMP-2081.1\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--4.50\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"4.50\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"4.5\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">4.5<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\">Mafia: Definitive Edition is the ultimate remaster of Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, the title that gave birth to this iconic saga developed by Hangar 13 and marketed by 2K Studios.
