Summary

  • Mafia: The Old Country is getting a new gameplay trailer on May 8.
  • Developer Hangar 13 will also host a PAX East panel that day, promising additional details about the game.
  • The game’s release date is likely to be officially announced on May 8 as well. One prior leak pointed to an early August 2025 launch for the Old Country.

On May 8th, we’ll get an extensive peek at the gameplay for “Mafia: The Old Country”. This day will also mark a special panel discussion by developers Hangar 13, focusing on the legendary Mafia series and how “Mafia: The Old Country” contributes to it.

Back in August 2024 during Gamescom, it was initially announced that the fourth major Mafia game, titled The Old Country, was planned for a summer 2025 release. While an exact date has not been set yet, developers 2K and Hangar 13 have consistently mentioned this timeline. As we’re now halfway through spring, it’s essential that they finalize the release date soon if they want to stick with their original schedule for launching The Old Country.

On May 8th, we might officially unveil a new trailer for the long-awaited game titled “Mafia: The Old Country,” as confirmed by 2K. This promotional clip is expected to offer our first comprehensive glimpse into the gameplay of “Mafia: The Old Country.” So far, the snippets provided by 2K and Hangar 13 have been primarily focused on the storyline, with a strong emphasis on cutscenes rather than demonstrating how the game will function.

Mafia: The Old Country Rumored to Be Coming in August 2025

On May 8th, a trailer for the Mafia game series will debut at 11AM Eastern Time, 8AM Pacific Time, and 4PM British Summer Time on the official YouTube channel, “@MafiaGame.” Simultaneously, it will be shown at PAX East, which begins earlier in the day. There’s a rumor that the potential release date for Mafia: The Old Country has leaked from the original PAX East event announcement, suggesting a store release on August 8th. However, this unverified information hasn’t been confirmed yet. If true, it aligns with 2K’s frequent assertion of a summer 2025 launch.

Mafia: The Old Country PAX East Panel Promises New Insights and Rewards

Immediately following the debut of the gameplay trailer, Hangar 13 is set to conduct a developer session at PAX East, commencing at 2pm Eastern Time / 11am Pacific Time / 7pm British Summer Time. This event will delve into the history and future of the series, providing exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpses into the upcoming title, as announced by 2K. Attendees physically present will receive certain rewards, while supplies last. Those unable to join the Boston panel can view it online, either live or on demand.

At the PAX East panel, we’ll see Nick Baynes, President of Hangar 13, Tomáš Hřebíček, their Cinematics Director, and Alex Cox, Game Director. Now that GTA 6 has been pushed back to 2026, Mafia: The Old Country could potentially be the largest open-world action adventure game from 2K in 2025, considering its budget and aspirations. (In terms of budget and ambition, it might surpass other games by 2K in 2025.)
