The new entry in the series developed by Hangar 13 will launch, as previously rumored, on August 8th on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. The game's Standard Edition, as mentioned above, will challenge the trend of rising prices by launching for only $49.99.

The pre-order bonus Soldato Pack featuring the "Soldato" Outfit, "Scannaturi Speciale" Knife, "Tesoro" Horse and Accessories, and "Lupara" Charm will be available for both editions of the game.
Besides confirming the official release date for Mafia: The Old Country, publisher 2K and developer Hangar 13 released a new trailer for the game, which provides a good look at the gameplay, which does away with the open-world mechanics of previous entries in the series in favor of a more linear, story-driven experience. The developers will provide more information on the game later today during a PAX East panel. Once available, both the trailer and the panel can be watched below.
Mafia: The Old Country launches on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on August 8th. The game will also be available via the GeForce NOW streaming service at launch.
