Mafia: The Old Country release date and latest news
Mob rule, old school.
It's been nine years since Mafia 3 gave us the last new entry in the iconic mobster series.
But that's about to change later this year, with the upcoming Mafia: The Old Country confirming its 2025 release date.
Despite teasing it a few years ago, developer Hangar 13 gave us our first look at the game at Gamescom 2024, and with May's gameplay trailer, the game is shaping up to be something special.
Taking place in the titular 'old country' of early 20th-century Sicily, it's an entirely fresh take on the series as a whole.
So, with the GTA 6 release date delayed to 2026, if you want your gangster fix this year, you better keep an eye on the Mafia: The Old Country release date.
Mafia: The Old Country release date
Mafia: The Old Country will release on 8th August 2025.
This was confirmed in the "Whatever it Takes" gameplay trailer released in May.
While this was the first time the release date was confirmed, it was already effectively common knowledge among fans.
A rapidly-deleted Steam blog post was uploaded in April that claimed that Mafia: The Old Country would be releasing on 8th August this year.
Edited screenshots were later shared on social media showing different dates, but the original had it slated for this now-confirmed August release.

Can I pre-order Mafia: The Old Country?
Mafia: The Old Country is now available to pre-order digitally.
PC players can purchase the game from the Steam store, while console players can also purchase digital versions from the PlayStation and Xbox stores respectively.
The game costs the same on each platform - £44.99 / $49.99 / €49.99.
Unfortunately, we don't know anything at the moment about physical releases, but we assume that these will become available closer to the game's release date.
Which consoles and platforms can play Mafia: The Old Country?
Mafia: The Old Country will release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
A previous-gen release is unlikely in 2025 (we're afraid), and we doubt it'll come out on the Switch.
But who knows what will happen with the Nintendo Switch 2? As ever, we'll update this page as soon as anything surfaces.
Mafia: The Old Country gameplay and story details
At the moment, we don't know much about Mafia: The Old Country's story, apart from the time in which it's set.
Taking us to the turn of the 20th century, it's the farthest back a Mafia title has gone (the previous games spanning the '30s to the '60s).
It dives into a similar time in history to Red Dead Redemption, so this should be interesting.
We know even less about the gameplay, because the trailer teased very little. Speaking of which...
Is there a Mafia: The Old Country trailer?
There are a few trailers! The first one was revealed at Gamescom 2024.
