Mafia: The Old Country release date and latest news

Set in 20th century Sicily, the titular 'old country', it's the farthest back in time that the series has taken us, and promises to be a fresh experience for Mafia fans.

So, if you're after your fix of gangster gaming, read on for the Mafia: The Old Country release date and release times for the UK and beyond.

Mafia: The Old Country release date

Mafia: The Old Country will release on 7th or 8th August 2025, depending on time zone and platform.

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.

What time does Mafia: The Old Country release in the UK?

Mafia: The Old Country releases on PC at 5pm BST on 7th August, and on consoles at 12am BST on 8th August.

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

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).

While the setting is vastly different to what we're used to from Mafia games, the actual gameplay should be fairly familiar.

The game is narrative driven, seeing you take on a series of missions for the Cosa Nostra, proving your worth to the Torrisi crime family.

According to a GamesRadar+ interview with developer Hangar 13's president Nick Baynes, the game will go "back to the roots of what fans love about the Mafia series."

It dives into a similar time in history to Red Dead Redemption, so this should be interesting.
