This is the second look at the Mafia: The Old Country, which was originally announced in August 2024 via a brief teaser trailer at Gamescom. It is currently being developed by Hangar 13 and set to be published by 2K Games. The reveal trailer stopped short of providing gameplay footage, opting instead for in-engine cinematics rendered for the trailer.

The trailer that leaked was part of an ad campaign featuring just a brief, 15-second clip of the much longer trailer that aired during The Game Awards. 2K Games stopped short of directly commenting on the ad leak, but did post on social media, "There's much more to the story...Omerta will be broken tonight at #TheGameAwards."

The full-length trailer, dubbed "The Initiation" shows the first look at the game's new don, who says, "This is a family, bound by blood." This is juxtaposed with operatic singing before we switch to some cinematics of a young man with medium-length dark hair pulling a switchblade, firing a gun, and engaging in a fistfight. The game is set in Sicily, Italy, in the 1900s.

Mafia: The Old Country is currently listed to launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam. It has not yet been rated by the ESRB or Pegi rating systems, but it's safe to say that given the subject matter at play, the game will likely be tacked with an M rating. Mafia's developer, Hangar 13, previously developed Mafia III and Mafia Definitive Edition before releasing TopSpin2k25 earlier this year. The studio was previously working on a new IP, codenamed Volt, that was canceled in 2021 with a reported cost of $53 million.
