Although the text published in Steam was edited to eliminate the release date, on the Internet there is always someone faster who not only shares the information, but has time to get a capture. Specifically, the writing said: «Mafia: The Old Country will be available on August 9, 2025». In addition, it was indicated that the reservation campaign was already underway for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Steam. Both the launch date and the details about the reserves, which should include information about the editions in which the game will be available, will be officially known during the Pax East 2025.
The launch date of Mafia: The Old Country draws a calendar as interesting as occupied for Take-Two. In less than half a year the company will put three games, mafia: The Old Country (August 8), Borderlands 4 (September 23) and Grand Theft Auto VI (Autumn), with potential to sell several million copies. Revealing the launch date of their titles when there are a few months left to get to stores is a Take-Two strategy, which claims to prefer short marketing campaigns. In the case of Grand Thief Auto VI not to communicate the date, it also serves to «maintain expectation», as Strauss Zelnick, executive director of Take-Two, acknowledged.
When available, Mafia: The Old Country will transfer the players to the 1900 Sicily to put them in the skin of Enzo Favara, a man who after surviving an childhood of forced labor in the sulfur mines of Sicily has the opportunity to join the Criminal Family of Don Torrisi. It is an opportunity to find a better life that will not let out, but to take an oath to the family demands sacrifices.
