It’s set to be a very bumper yr for Take-Two (if GTA 6 sticks to its present launch window, that’s), and Mafia The Previous Nation is one main title on its stacked slate. There’s been an extended outdated await a brand new Mafia recreation, and with this entry taking us to an authentically recreated Sicily to discover the origins of the mob, pleasure is excessive. Whereas beforehand given a broad summer season 2025 window, a Steam weblog publish seems to have revealed the precise date it’ll drop.
After a number of months of Mafia The Previous Nation silence, 2K and developer Hangar 13 have right this moment confirmed that its upcoming open-world recreation will make an look at PAX East in a couple of weeks time with a devoted panel. Throughout the panel, we’ll get our first glimpse at gameplay with a brand new trailer, be taught much more particulars about it, get an “unique behind-the-scenes have a look at the event course of,” and get to tune right into a developer Q&A. In addition to all of this, affirmation of the Mafia The Previous Nation launch date is extensively anticipated.
Effectively, it seems that somebody’s jumped the gun. Whereas there’s no point out of a launch date in any English-language posts, the Steam article asserting the PAX East information in different languages does.
For example, within the LATAM model of the publish -which was noticed by Insider Gaming and has been seen and translated from Spanish to English by PCGamesN – it states that “Mafia: The Previous Nation is accessible August 8, 2025.” It additionally says that pre-orders are actually dwell, which is in fact incorrect. Evidently this vital data, attributable to be revealed throughout the PAX East panel, has been mistakenly left in.
Whereas it’s a disgrace to see such an thrilling bit of stories get prematurely introduced, there’s not less than nonetheless lots to stay up for for the precise panel. I can’t wait to see Hangar 13’s depiction of early 1900s Sicily, which can even characteristic a full dub in Sicilian dialect.
So, there you have got it: Mafia The Previous Nation seems to be set to launch on Friday, August 8. As talked about, it’s a part of a reasonably exceptional lineup of video games for 2K’s father or mother firm Take-Two. Having already pushed PGA Tour 2K25 and Civilization 7 out the door this yr, it’s bought the brand new Mafia, the GTA 6 launch date, Borderlands 4, and a brand new NBA 2K recreation all arriving earlier than the top of the yr.
