Mafia: The Old Country Set for Imminent Launch
As the highly anticipated release of Mafia: The Old Country draws near, developer Hangar 13 has officially revealed the exact global launch times for the game across all platforms. Fans eager to dive into the criminal underworld of early 20th-century Sicily now know exactly when they can start their journey.
PC players on Steam will get a slight head start, with Mafia: The Old Country becoming available on August 7 at 19:00 MSK (Moscow Time). Console gamers, however, will need to wait a few more hours. The game will unlock for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S users on August 8 at 02:00 MSK.
A Return to Linear Storytelling
Mafia: The Old Country puts players in the shoes of Enzo Favara, an orphan struggling with poverty and working as a miner. His ambition doesn't go unnoticed, catching the eye of the notorious Torrisi crime family. Enzo is soon invited into the organization, where he sees an opportunity to rise above his meager beginnings in exchange for his unwavering loyalty and service to the Don.
In terms of gameplay, Hangar 13 has made a deliberate choice to step away from the open-world structure seen in some modern titles. Instead, they’ve returned to the more linear, mission-based narrative style that was a hallmark of the original Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. Players will explore various breathtaking locales across Sicily in the 1900s, drive period-appropriate retro cars, and engage in intense conflicts with rival factions of the Torrisi family.
Pre-Order and Editions
For those looking to jump in as soon as possible, pre-orders are still available, and pre-loading has already begun for console players. Hangar 13 has prepared two editions for purchase: the Standard Edition, priced at $49.99, and the Deluxe Edition, available for $59.99, which includes additional in-game bonuses. The developers have also confirmed that Mafia: The Old Country will feature full Russian localization, ensuring a broad audience can enjoy the game in their native language.
With the precise release times now public, the wait for Mafia: The Old Country is almost over. Players around the globe can mark their calendars and prepare to embark on an epic journey of crime, loyalty, and ambition in a beautifully recreated historical setting.
