'Mafia 4' officially revealed as Mafia: The Old Country, set in 1900s Sicily during the 'origins of the mafia'

Gamescom Opening Night Live closed out with a "just one more thing..." reveal this year, and it turned out to be a big one: the first wholly new game in the Mafia series since 2016. It's set to release in 2025.

Mafia: The Old Country is "a thrilling story set in 1900s Sicily during the origins of the mafia, "said Nick Baynes, president of Take-Two-owned development studio Hangar 13. Baynes didn't get into the details, but said the Old Country is "going back to the roots of what fans love about the Mafia franchise, crafting a deep, linear narrative with that classic mob movie feeling."

Hangar 13 will be showing more of Mafia: The Old Country in December. For now there's not much more to go on, but the YouTube description for the trailer does suggest you'll "uncover the origins of organized crime" this time around. Could that mean becoming the first-ever crime family don?

"Fight to survive in this dangerous and unforgiving era, with action brought to life by the authentic realism and rich storytelling that the critically acclaimed Mafia series is known for," promises the trailer text. And we sure did love Mafia 2's Empire Bay .
