Mafia:
The Old Country

No, Mafia: The Old Country returns to the series' linear, narrative-driven roots similar to the original Mafia. While you can explore Sicily's authentic environments, the game follows a structured story progression rather than an open-world sandbox approach. This allows for a more focused, cinematic experience that better serves the historical narrative.

The main story campaign is estimated to take approximately 12-15 hours to complete, depending on your playstyle and how much you explore the optional content. Players who thoroughly explore Sicily's environments and engage with all side content can expect 18-20 hours of gameplay. The linear structure ensures a well-paced narrative experience without padding.

No, Mafia: The Old Country is a prequel that tells the origin story of organized crime in 1900s Sicily. While long-time fans will appreciate references and connections to the broader Mafia universe, newcomers can fully enjoy and understand the story without prior knowledge of other games in the series.

Mafia: The Old Country is a single-player only experience, focusing entirely on delivering a compelling narrative-driven campaign. There are no multiplayer modes, co-op features, or online components. This design choice allows Hangar 13 to concentrate all resources on creating the most authentic and immersive single-player story possible.

While no official DLC announcements have been made at launch, Hangar 13 and 2K Games have not ruled out future content expansions. Given the rich historical setting of 1900s Sicily, there's certainly potential for additional stories, characters, or regions to be explored in post-launch content.

Official mod support has not been announced. However, the game runs on Unreal Engine 5, which historically has been more accessible to modders than some other engines. The community will likely develop unofficial modding tools over time, but players should not expect official modding support at launch.

The game features full Sicilian voice acting for authentic immersion, with subtitle support in multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and others. Audio dubbing is available in several major languages, though Italian is only available as subtitles to preserve the authentic Sicilian dialect experience.

New Game+ functionality has not been officially confirmed. Given the linear, story-focused nature of the game, traditional New Game+ features may not be as relevant as they are in RPG-style games. However, players can replay chapters through the chapter select feature once completed.

The Old Country combines the linear storytelling approach of the original Mafia with the character depth and narrative sophistication of Mafia III. It's more story-focused than Mafia III's open-world approach but features more refined gameplay mechanics and significantly improved visuals thanks to Unreal Engine 5. The historical setting makes it unique among the series.

Yes, Mafia: The Old Country includes comprehensive accessibility features including subtitle customization, colorblind-friendly options, control remapping, and various visual and audio accessibility settings. The development team has worked to ensure the game is accessible to players with different needs and abilities.
