The release date for Mafia: The Old Country has been officially announced. The latest entry in the franchise will be released on August 8th for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
The release date announcement was accompanied by a new trailer for the game, featuring stealth, combat, vehicles and a fresh look at the game’s setting.
“Uncover the origins of organized crime in this gritty mob story set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily,” a post on the game’s website reads. “Fight to survive as Enzo Favara and prove your worth to the Cosa Nostra in this immersive third-person action-adventure set during a dangerous, unforgiving era.
“Enzo will do anything for a better life. After a brutal childhood of forced labor, he’s ready to risk everything to become a man of honor in the Torrisi crime family. His oath to the Cosa Nostra, with all the power, temptation, and hardship it entails, is a burning reminder of this simple truth: Family Takes Sacrifice.”
It was also revealed that Mafia: The Old Country will be priced at $49.99/£44.99, rather than the typical $60 price point. A deluxe edition of the game will also be available for $59.99 and include the following bonus content:
- Full base game

Those who pre-order any edition of the game will receive the Soldato Pack, which includes the Soldato outfit, Scannaturi Speciale knife, Tesoro horse and accessories, and the Lupara charm. Players who link their 2K account to the game will also receive the Garzia Tumulto race car in-game reward.
The $50 price point is a pleasant surprise for many, as the topic of rising game and console prices has dominated discussions recently. Last month, it was announced that Mario Kart World would be priced at $80, a first for Nintendo, with Microsoft later announcing similar pricing for its first-party titles.
