Mafia: The Old Country is a story-driven prequel that returns the franchise to its roots in early 20th-century Sicily. Set against the harsh beauty of the Italian countryside and the crumbling legacy of aristocracy, the game explores the rise of the Mafia before it ever reached American shores. Players step into the shoes of a young and ambitious outsider, Enzo Favara, entangled in blood feuds, honor-bound loyalties, and the brutal codes of an emerging criminal empire.
Mafia: The Old Country sets itself apart from previous entries in the Mafia franchise in several ways. The Old Country takes place in early 20th-century Sicily. This marks a major shift from roaring 1930s cities and post-war America to a more rural, old-world setting defined by feudal remnants, crumbling aristocracy, and criminal networks.
Rather than depicting the American Mafia during its heyday, the game explores the origins of the Mafia in Italy. This provides a much grittier, more personal look at how the criminal underworld formed, long before it became a structured, profit-driven syndicate.
Whereas previous games centered on the rise-and-fall arcs of gangsters navigating American capitalism and corruption, The Old Country leans heavily into themes of tradition, betrayal, and survival in a lawless land. It's less about flashy cars and prohibition deals, and more about vendettas, family allegiance, and blood oaths.
Unlike its predecessors, Mafia: The Old Country will not be an open world experience. Instead, Hangar 13 has focused on delivering a linear story that follows a specific path. While it reduces your range of action, this system offers the developers more control over the story and boosts immersion. The game features different types of scenarios, ranging from village hubs and countryside territories instead of a single large city. The game dives deep into Sicilian culture, language, and customs, with more authentic portrayals of rural life, Catholicism, and local superstition, adding a rich texture that's distinct from the American immigrant narrative in earlier titles.
With rich historical detail, atmospheric open-world environments, and a narrative steeped in betrayal, tradition, and power, The Old Country redefines the origin story of organized crime.
