Gamescon 2024 had some interesting reveals, but one of the biggest and most exciting surprises for many was the announcement of Mafia: The Old Country. This is a series that hasn't received much attention since 2016's Mafia III, but now it finally has a new entry. Mafia: The Old Country promises something new and different. This one's a prequel to the other games, and changes settings entirely. Where the original game dealt with the Italian Mafia in the US, The Old Country chronicles the early days of the mob back when it was located in Italy. The decision to move out of America and offer a perspective not seen as often is definitely something that has the potential to make an interesting Mafia game. Unfortunately, fans eager to play this new adventure are going to have to wait. Mafia: The Old Country doesn't even have a firm release date, beyond being expected sometime this year.
