The allure of the classic mob story is timeless, a tale of honour, family, betrayal, and sacrifice. Today, that story goes back to its brutal beginnings.
Mafia: The Old Country, the next chapter in the critically acclaimed series from developer Hangar 13 and publisher 2K, has officially launched on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
An Origin Story Forged in Sicily
This gritty new mob story is set in the unforgiving underworld of 1900s Sicily, inviting you to uncover the very origins of organized crime in a stunning, cinematic action-adventure.
In Mafia: The Old Country, you play as Enzo Favara. After a brutal childhood of forced labor, he is ready to risk everything to become a man of honor in the notorious Torrisi crime family. His journey is a thrilling narrative brought to life by stunning visuals and the authentic realism the Mafia series is known for.
His oath to the family, with all the power, temptation, and hardship it entails, is a burning reminder of one simple truth: Family Takes Sacrifice.
A Classic Mob Movie You Control
This is a dangerous and unforgiving era, and you’ll engage in life-or-death combat to survive. The third-person action allows you to fight up close with a deadly stiletto blade or from afar with a variety of period-authentic firearms.
You can ambush enemies for vicious stealth takedowns or slice them up in intense, close-quarters duels. If you prefer firearms, you can wield handguns, rifles, and the iconic lupara sawed-off shotgun to eliminate the Don’s enemies.
Travel in Authentic Turn-of-the-Century Style
Your story will unfold across a wide range of Sicilian environments, from underground crypts and crumbling ruins to bountiful vineyards and ornate opera houses.
To reach your next target or make a hurried getaway, you’ll need to gallop on horseback across cobbled streets and open fields, or speed down treacherous dirt roads in authentic turn-of-the-century automobiles.

Since then, the hype has been so strong that we even included it in our feature on The Best New Xbox Games for August 2025. We’ll be following all this with a review of Mafia: The Old Country as soon as we can.
