The Old Country is a prequel and a return for the series after the last brand-new Mafia game came out in 2016. Since then, we've had a remake of the first game and remasters for the second and third games, but nothing brand new until now.

Hangar 13 has claimed that this will be " the best looking Mafia game " in the series, and, through the studio's work with Italian developer Stormind Games, has put in the effort to make everything about players' journey in Italy an " authentic " experience .

" Our priority has always been to ensure that everything in the game feels authentic ," said senior project manager at Stormind Games, Salvo Fallica. " The details are absolutely key in keeping the immersion of the player ," added Hangar 13's lead writer Matthew Aitken.

We've seen plenty of gameplay footage and heard a lot from Hangar 13 about how much work they've put in to this release. We'll see in August if this is a strong return for the series or not.
