Revealed earlier today at theGamescom Opening Night Livepresentation to close out the entire showcase, Hangar 13 rolled out Mafia: The Old Country. This is a Mafia story that’s going back in time to before any of the previous three games, taking place in the 1900s in Sicily.
If you had any doubt as to whether this new Mafia game was going to be a violent affair, the weapons seen throughout the new trailer put that speculation firmly to bed. We saw a hefty knife, a deadly handgun, and a threatening double-barrelled shotgun, all of which look like they’ll be used against our inevitable rivals in the new Mafia game.
Additionally, the new Mafia game will be going “back to the roots of what fans love about the Mafia franchise” with a “deep linear narrative.” That’s according to Nick Baynes, president of Hangar 13, who appeared after the revealing cinematic trailer to give a little more detail on the new game.
