Hangar 13’s game was represented at the last major video game event of the year, where many announcements were made.
Mafia: The Old Country introduces the brutal criminal underworld of 1900s Sicily. Marking the beginning of a new crime saga for the franchise, it’s an all-new story set in the Mafia universe that goes back to the roots of organized crime with a compelling new cast of characters. As a linear, narrative-driven game, it’s a focused package perfect for fans looking to immerse themselves in an unfamiliar world of danger and intrigue. The graphically stunning cinematic experience features a story rooted in the brutal world of organized crime that authentically immerses players in dangerous combat systems with high-stakes, grounded stealth and gunplay mechanics.
It introduces a new, original protagonist for players to embody. Enzo’s story unfolds in a time when skill with a stiletto blade was a deadly asset, a lupara (an Italian word for sawed-off shotgun) was the weapon of choice, murderous vendettas raged for decades, and Mafiosi patrolled their protection rackets on foot, horseback, or behind the wheel of turn-of-the-century motorcars. Through grit and determination, Enzo survived a childhood of forced labor in Sicily’s hellish sulfur mines. Now, through a twist of fate, he has the opportunity to join Don Torrisi’s crime family and will do whatever it takes to make a better life for himself. By swearing an oath, Enzo has committed himself to the Torrisi family’s code of honor, with all the power and hardship that entails. He must never forget this simple truth: family requires sacrifice.
“Mafia: The Old Country is a love letter to old-style, gritty mafia stories where players can uncover the origins of organized crime. Everyone at Hangar 13 is committed to creating the most authentic and intense story in the franchise, and we can’t wait for players to experience the journey with Enzo,” said Nick Baynes, president of Hangar 13, in a press release.
Mafia: The Old Country will be released in the summer (June to August) for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC.
