A new trailer for Mafia: The Old Country has leaked alongside a summer 2025 release window, ahead of a presentation at The Game Awards later today, December 12.
X/Twitter user @DJari2020 posted a brief snippet of the trailer, below, which seemingly appeared as a YouTube ad. It offers a first look at the gameplay, characters, and narrative of Mafia: The Old Country, promised to be a gritty mob story set in 1900s Sicily.
The trailer closes with a vague summer 2025 release window, but this is still a touch more clear than the previously announced general 2025 date. That's potentially running close to GTA 6's fall 2025 release window, should Rockstar's game resist a delay in 2026. Mafia: The Old Country was revealed at gamescom in August with a brief teaser trailer that confirmed the setting but little else.
"Uncover the origins of organized crime in Mafia: The Old Country, a gritty mob story set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily," reads the official synopsis. "Fight to survive in this dangerous and unforgiving era, with action brought to life by the authentic realism and rich storytelling that the critically acclaimed Mafia series is known for."
Debuting more than two decades ago with 2002's Mafia, the series continued slowly but surely with a sequel in 2010 and third game in 2016, though has otherwise been quiet since. Given the great stretches of time between each release, however, Mafia: The Old Country is practically right on schedule.
The Game Awards begins at 4:30pm Pacific / 7:30pm Eastern / 12:30am UK and is expected to last roughly three hours. IGN's pre-show begins 30 minutes prior and we'll have a post-show afterwards too, with these and the show itself all available to watch on the IGN homepage, IGN YouTube, IGN Twitch, and more.
