It’s set to be a very bumper yr for Take-Two (if GTA 6 sticks to its present launch window, that’s), and Mafia The Outdated Nation is one main identify on its stacked slate. There’s been an extended previous await a brand new Mafia sport, 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 time 2025 window, a Steam weblog submit seems to have revealed the precise date it’ll drop.
After a number of months of Mafia The Outdated Nation silence, 2K and developer Hangar 13 have at this time confirmed that its upcoming open-world sport will make an look at PAX East in a number of weeks time with a devoted panel. Through 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 take 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event course of,” and get to tune right into a developer Q&A. In addition to all of this, affirmation of the Mafia The Outdated Nation launch date is broadly anticipated.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.
As an illustration, within the LATAM model of the submit -which was noticed by Insider Gaming and has been seen and translated from Spanish to English by PCGamesN – it states that “Mafia: The Outdated Nation is out there August 8, 2025.” It additionally says that pre-orders at the moment are reside, which is after all incorrect. It appears that evidently this necessary info, as a result of be revealed throughout the PAX East panel, has been mistakenly left in.
Whereas it’s a disgrace to see such an thrilling bit of reports get prematurely introduced, there’s a minimum of nonetheless loads 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 function a full dub in Sicilian dialect.
So, there you could have it: Mafia The Outdated Nation appears set to launch on Friday, August 8.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 guardian 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 sport all arriving earlier than the top of the yr.
