Summary

  • Mafia: The Old Country’s release date appears to be August 8, 2025, leaked from a now-edited PAX East presentation announcement.
  • The potential release date aligns with rumors of GTA 6 launching in the fall, suggesting a strategic move by Take-Two to avoid overlap.
  • Take-Two is gearing up for a significant year, with both Mafia: The Old Country and GTA 6 anticipated as major releases in 2025.

It seems that the release date for “Mafia: The Old Country” might have been accidentally disclosed. Previously, 2K Games confirmed that the new Mafia installment would be out in summer 2025. But recently, details leaked from the developer suggest that they may have unveiled the precise release date of “Mafia: The Old Country” before the upcoming gameplay trailer is revealed.

It was previously believed that an advertisement on YouTube might have leaked the launch timing for the game “Mafia: The Old Country”. Later, the publisher validated this information and stated they would disclose further details at The Game Awards 2024, eventually unveiling the initial cinematic trailer. Since then, fans have been guessing about the specific release date, mainly due to speculations that Take-Two, the owners of 2K Games, plan to launch “GTA 6” around the same period. If recent gossips are correct, there will be a short gap between the launches of these two games.

According to Insider Gaming, it appears that the upcoming game “Mafia: The Old Country” might launch on August 8, 2025. This information stems from a Steam post announcing Hangar 13’s presentation at PAX East. Although the English version of the post did not specify a release date, it seems that the LATAM and Japanese versions included a line indicating the game is coming in August, with pre-orders already open. The renowned video game convention, PAX East, will feature Hangar 13 on May 8 at 7 PM BST or 2 PM ET. The presentation, which can be watched on “Mafia’s” YouTube channel and PAX East’s Twitch, will showcase the new gameplay trailer for “The Old Country.

Mafia 4’s Leaked Release Date Gives Weight to GTA 6 Rumors

Given that Take-Two Interactive Software owns both 2K Games and Rockstar Games, fans speculate about possible links between the release dates of Mafia 4 and Grand Theft Auto 6. Some argue that if The Old Country (Mafia 4) is indeed slated for an August release, it strengthens the claims suggesting GTA 6 will come out in the fall. This theory proposes that Take-Two might be strategically launching Mafia 4 a few months ahead to prevent clashing and minimize potential sales impacts from another AAA game like GTA 6. The reasoning behind this is that the highly anticipated GTA 6 could potentially overshadow Mafia, which would not benefit Take-Two’s interests.

It’s evident that the chatter about these two highly anticipated AAA games, Mafia: The Old Country and GTA 6, is swirling around. Regardless of their truth, one fact stands out: Take-Two Interactive seems to be preparing for an impressive year ahead. With both titles slated for release in 2025, fans are anticipating a consecutive launch – a daring move that many gamers are eagerly looking forward to. It’s worth mentioning that neither 2K nor Rockstar Games has responded to the latest rumors and leaks. However, Hangar 13 is expected to reveal the release date for Mafia: The Old Country during its PAX East presentation on May 8.
