Alright, let’s dive into the chaos of what it means to await the launch of Mafia: The Old Country. This isn’t just another day in the gaming world. No, no—it’s more like when you discover an amazing bakery in the middle of nowhere that only the locals know about. Yeah, it’s like that.
So, picture this: Hangar 13 and 2K just dropped the release date for Mafia: The Old Country on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with one of those trailers that makes you want to invest in a new console (or at least, upgrade your old potato of a PC). But, here’s the kicker: it’s priced at $49.99. Not bad, right? Although, if you’re feeling a little extra fancy, there’s a Deluxe Edition that’ll run you $59.99.
Let’s just say this game is serving AAA vibes on a lower budget. Nice trade, right? Anyway—or wait, where was I? Oh, right. The new trailer is slick, though a bit on the skimpy side. But, alongside it, we get this lengthy developer insight video thing. Hangar 13 seems to have had a long, hard think about their past missteps. Mafia 3 was gorgeous and all, but that open-world thing? Meh. Left a lot to be desired. This time, we’re promised a leaner, linear game, and everyone’s buzzing about the “quality storytelling” and “era immersion.” Feels like 2025 might just be Mafia’s year.
Oh, and if you’re wondering about the Deluxe Edition goodies—because who doesn’t like a little digital bling—it comes with a Padrino Pack featuring all kinds of fancy gear: a Lupara Speciale Shotgun, the whole nine yards. Plus, there’s the Gatto Nero Pack with some slick threads and other goodies. They even threw in an Original Score and Digital Artbook. If that doesn’t scream “collector’s item,” I don’t know what does. And wait for it—preorders come with this Soldato Pack, so if you’re keen, maybe hop onto the PS Store.
Anyway—wait, I mean, that’s the scoop. Who knew gaming announcements could feel like planning a heist?
