Mafia: The Old Country‘s launch date seems to be to have been by accident leaked by 2K itself, through a Steam replace that was put reside, after which unexpectedly undone as soon as somebody realised they’d by accident achieved one thing that’d make an precise mob boss begin delivering colouful language and outstandingly demonstrative hand gestures.
This is not the primary time one thing like this has occurred to The Previous Nation both – its reveal last summer went okay, however previous to The Sport Awards in December, its summer time 2025 launch window was inadventently made public early through an advert that jumped the gun a bit.
That brings us to as we speak, when – as Gematsu has spotted and screenshotted – a Steam blog post about the game’s upcoming May 8 dev panel at PAX East noted an August 8 release date.
Naturally, it looks to have quickly been scrubbed, likely as soon as whichever mob associate/associates who’d put the posts live realised that info wasn’t public yet. So, we’re left to wait for that PAX East panel for confirmation, which seems a good bet to be the point at which 2K and Hangar 13 had planned to announce the release date.
Slightly ironically given these circumstances, the English version of the PAX East panel Steam publish from the studio begins by declaring: “Mafia followers perceive the seriousness of breaking Omertá, so do not miss this opportunity to uncover the origins of organized crime with Mafia: The Previous Nation at PAX East!” You can catch it on Could 8 at 7pm BST and 2pm ET through the PAX East main Twitch stream and the Mafia series’ YouTube channel.
Anyway, the sport’s set to take us to 1900s Sicily relatively than stateside, for some correct Italian mafia hijinks. It is received my curiosity, even when it retains leaking particulars about itself extra typically than I am certain 2K would really like.
