PAX East is one of the biggest events on the video game calendar, and this year’s show will include something very special: the first gameplay trailer for Mafia: The Old Country.
Finally, we’ll get to see what 2K and Hangar 13 have been working on behind the scenes.
Mafia: The Old Country — A Fresh Chapter in a Legendary Series
Mafia: The Old Country was first announced during Opening Night Live at Gamescom 2024.
While it’s not officially called Mafia 4, it’s clear that it’s a true continuation of the iconic Mafia series. Players can expect the same thrilling mix of money laundering, murder, and a gripping story that could rival any classic Scorsese film.
What We Know So Far
Up until now, very little information about Mafia: The Old Country has been shared.
However, that’s about to change at PAX East 2025, where 2K officially stated that, “The silence is almost over.” This exciting news came directly from the game’s official Twitter page, boldly announcing: “Get ready. The next chapter begins May 8.”
When and Where to Watch the Gameplay Reveal
The official gameplay trailer for Mafia: The Old Country will premiere at 6:30 PM Iran time on May 8.
If you’re a Mafia fan, make sure to clear your calendar — this is an event you won’t want to miss.
Developer Panel: Even More Details Incoming
Three hours after the gameplay trailer drops, there will be a developer panel where the team will answer fans’ questions about Mafia: The Old Country, the gameplay, story, and much more.
This panel should give us deeper insights into the world, mechanics, and vision behind the new game.
Hopes for the Future of the Mafia Franchise
While Mafia 3 was not as universally loved as earlier entries in the series, many fans are hopeful that 2K and Hangar 13 can bring the franchise back to its former glory.
With the reveal just around the corner, expectations are high — and if they deliver, Mafia: The Old Country could reclaim its crown as one of the top story-driven games out there.
