Hangar 13 has released a nine-minute trailer forMafia: The Old Country, offering a deep look at the game’s core mechanics.
Mafia: The Old Country Showcases New Gameplay
Nothing like enjoying summer in the idyllic Sicily—though the setting presented inMafia: The Old Countryis anything but peaceful.
This new installment, arriving August 8 onPS5, Xbox Series, and PC,takes us to the early 20th century, a violent era when the first mafia families emerged.
With an irresistible price and an equally strong production, Hangar 13 is 200% confident in their game—so much so that they’ve shown off gameplay in depth in a brand-new preview.
Mafia: The Old Country Impresses with Thrilling Gameplay
Hangar 13 has released a trailer lasting over 9 minutes, showcasing what awaits in the next chapter of the franchise.
When a studio openly displays its upcoming title, it’s a sign that they’ve got something great in their hands. Based on what we see in the trailer,The Old Countrylooks fantastic.
The sequences weave together the story of Enzo Favara, the protagonist of this title; in the video, we see him meeting with Don Torrisi at his mansion during Chapter 5 of the game.
It’s clear that the game’s interiors are as carefully crafted as its environments.
They’ve been built using Unreal Engine 5, in a process detailed by the studio.
As inMafia: Definitive Edition, this mission requires choosing a weapon from the gunsmith’s catalog. Enzo picks a hunting shotgun—but first, he takes a short stroll.
Mission Briefing and Weapon Choice
Driving inThe Old Countrylets you appreciate not only the beauty of the Sicilian landscape, but also the attention to detail in the recreation of the cars: real models were used, complete with authentic vintage engine sounds.
Upon reaching the destination, the objective becomes clear: infiltrate the villa—one of the game’s stealth segments. Here, Enzo must remain nearly invisible, whether by sneaking past enemies, performing silent takedowns, or throwing his knife.
It’s impressive how Hangar 13 has integrated gameplay and atmosphere. The lighting is dim and natural, fitting the era, offering more opportunities to hide in the shadows.
Mafia: The Old Country Unveils Its First Gameplay Trailer
Mafia: The Old Country debuts with trailer, release date, editions, and a behind-the-scenes look at its development.
Set in a mining area, Enzo also has access to explosives. He needs them when he runs into a pair of guards, though the noise will inevitably draw attention. Still, it seems to be the only way forward.
If you’re discovered, you’ll have to shoot it out—in intense gunfights that have become the studio’s signature. Visually, the spectacle of the game is reminiscent of titles likeUncharted 4.
With one major difference: due to the time period, automatic weapons are not common. Expect mostly bolt-action rifles and other “tools” that reload differently, adding a bit more challenge to the experience.
