Mafia: The Old Country Trailer Review

Forget pinstriped suits and Tommy guns. Mafia: The Old Country, the latest installment in the popular franchise, rips you from the familiar urban sprawl and hurls you into the sun-baked, blood-soaked heart of 1900s Sicily. The Initiation Trailer gave us our first glimpse of Enzo Favara, a man forged in the fires of hardship, whose journey into the Mafia promises a brutal and captivating saga. Mark your calendars for Summer 2025, when The Old Country arrives on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

The Old Country trades the concrete jungles of previous Mafia games for the rugged, unforgiving landscapes of rural Sicily, exploring the genesis of organized crime in a time when vendettas simmered for generations and the code of silence, omertà, was law. Enzo Favara, hardened by a brutal childhood in the sulfur mines, is our guide into this world. With nothing left to lose, he grasps the opportunity to join Don Torrisi's burgeoning criminal empire. But power comes at a price. Betrayal, bloodshed, and the family's ironclad creed – Family Takes Sacrifice – will constantly test Enzo's resolve.

A Stiletto in One Hand, a Lupara in the Other

Mafia: The Old Country promises a visceral blend of cinematic storytelling and heart-pounding gameplay. The trailer showcased Enzo's deadly proficiency with both the stiletto and the lupara sawed-off shotgun, hinting at a combat system as brutal and intimate as the world it inhabits. Beyond the bloodshed, you’ll experience Sicily in all its gritty glory. Traverse the sun-drenched countryside on foot, horseback, or behind the wheel of period-accurate automobiles, immersing yourself in the sights and sounds of a bygone era. From dusty rural roads to bustling marketplaces and fortified villas, each environment drips with historical detail.

Swearing allegiance to the Torrisi family offers protection, respect, and a seat at the table of power. But it also demands absolute loyalty, no matter the cost. Rival families, law enforcement, and the ever-present threat of vendetta hang heavy in the air, forcing Enzo to make impossible choices that will shape his destiny. Don Torrisi, the family patriarch, is a cunning and ambitious figure whose desires propel both Enzo and the family forward. As Enzo climbs the ranks, you’ll grapple with morally ambiguous decisions, questioning the true meaning of loyalty and the price of power.
