“Mafia: The Old Country”is already causing a stir, even though the fourth part of the popular game series has not yet been officially revealed. However, a premature commercial gives fans a first hint at the hotly anticipated release period. The dark world of Cosa Nostra could return as early as summer 2025 and impress with its mix of action and gripping story. This means that the next chapter in the series is coming closer than many had expected.
The release could fit into a tradition in the Mafia series, as previous titles also appeared during the summer months. While other blockbusters like “GTA 6” and “Civilization 7” have already secured fixed release windows in fall and spring 2025, a place for “Mafia: The Old Country” remains free in the summer time. This leak increases anticipation and brings back nostalgic memories of the series’ beginnings.

The excitement continues to grow, because at the Game Awards 2024, the developers could present gameplay footage of the upcoming game for the first time. Fans are hoping for a compelling story that delves deep into the underworld. An atmospheric open world brought to life with today’s modern technology would also be great, of course.
The developers at Hangar 13 have big plans. The fourth part is supposed to combine the best of the series while also setting fresh impulses. Whether “Mafia: The Old Country” will live up to the high expectations remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure – the game has the potential to make 2025 one of the gaming industry’s biggest highlights.
