Mafia: The Old Country Returns to Roots with Sicilian Prequel in 2025

Mafia: The Old Country, the first new Mafia game in nine years, returns to the series' roots by setting the story in early 1900s Sicily, inspired by The Godfather Part II. Unlike its predecessor, Mafia 3, which had a more open-world structure, The Old Country focuses on a linear, narrative-driven experience. The game utilizes Unreal Engine 5 to create stunning rural landscapes, marking a departure from the urban settings of previous titles. Developers aim to deliver a fresh yet familiar Mafia experience, emphasizing the origins of the Mafia in a historical context.
