Mafia: The Old Country is set to unveil a new gameplay trailer on May 8, creating excitement among fans. On that same day, developer Hangar 13 will host a panel at PAX East, where they promise to share more details about the game.
It is anticipated that the official release date will also be announced on May 8, with previous leaks suggesting a potential launch in early August 2025. This upcoming trailer will provide the most extensive look at the gameplay to date.
Hangar 13 plans to delve into the franchise’s history and discuss how Mafia: The Old Country fits into it during their panel at PAX East. The fourth installment of the Mafia series was first revealed at Gamescom in August 2024.
Despite a confirmed release date still being awaited, 2K and Hangar 13 have indicated that they are targeting a summer 2025 launch. With spring now at its halfway mark, an official date is essential for meeting this goal.
For those eager to immerse themselves in the Mafia universe before the release, exploring earlier titles can enhance the experience. The gameplay trailer on May 8 will be the first substantial insight into Mafia: The Old Country, as previous teasers primarily focused on its narrative through rendered cutscenes rather than actual gameplay mechanics.
The trailer will debut at 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT / 4 PM BST via the official @MafiaGame YouTube channel, coinciding with the opening of PAX East. Interestingly, an early announcement hinted that Mafia: The Old Country could be released on August 8, aligning with 2K’s summer2025 release strategy.
Following the trailer, the PAX East panel, starting at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT / 7 PM BST, will include insights from key developers, and attendees may receive exclusive rewards. For those unable to attend, the panel will be accessible online.
With the delay of GTA 6, Mafia: The Old Country is poised to become 2K’s flagship open-world action-adventure title for 2025.
