Mafia: The Old Country just dropped its most in-depth gameplay reveal yet, and fans are eating it up. The nine-minute footage, shared via IGN, showcases a pivotal mission starring protagonist Enzo, who’s tasked with bringing an enemy of Don Salieri back alive – a test of loyalty and skill that could shape his place in the family.
The clip kicks off with a moody cutscene: Don Salieri, ever the intimidating patriarch, personally hands Enzo his orders.
It’s clear this is more than just a job – it’s a rite of passage. From there, Enzo gears up, selecting from an arsenal tailored for stealth and violence, before setting off across the stunningly rendered Italian countryside. The visuals are lush, with rolling hills and sun-drenched roads giving way to darker, more dangerous interiors.
Once at the target’s villa, Enzo moves like a shadow, eliminating guards silently before the situation inevitably spirals into a gritty shootout. The third-person combat feels tighter and more responsive than ever, with a cinematic flair that recalls classic gangster films. When Enzo finally corners his mark, the clip fades just as he knocks the target out cold, preserving the mystery for the full game launch.
While some story beats were intentionally hidden by developer Hangar 13, this footage still gives us our clearest look yet at the game’s mechanics, atmosphere, and tone. With the title having gone gold last month, anticipation is at a fever pitch ahead of its August 8, 2025 release. Hangar 13 promises this will be the most visually stunning and emotionally rich entry in the series. So far, it’s shaping up to be a promise kept.
