When life gives you lemons, put them in a box and then a shotgun on top in Mafia: The Old Country.

Here’s the news: there’s a new Mafia game, it’s calledMafia: The Old Country, and it’s set in 20th century Sicily rather than in America as per the previous three games in the series.

That’s about all we know, but hop below and you’ll find a trailer.

This new Mafia was revealed tonight at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, with a brief coda from Hangar 13’s president Nick Baynes, who said that The Old Country would go “back to the roots” of what people liked about the seires and would have a “deep, linear narrative.” I thought Mafia 3 had a linear narrative and was better than people gave it credit for - at least after the bugs were fixed - but hey-ho. I hope it being set further back in the past means the cars are even slower and more rubbish than ever. I hope the cars are so old and shit that they’ve got legs.

2K will show more of Mafia: The Old Country in December of this year, ahead of a planned release sometime in 2025. This has been a big day for 2K generally, since they’ve also justannounced Borderlands 4and stuck arelease date on Civ 7.
