Mafia: The Old Country – Unexpectedly Affordable on PS5

Oh boy, so here’s the scoop on Mafia: The Old Country. Hangar 13 and 2K just dropped their big news about the game’s release date for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Oh, and there’s a shiny new trailer too. But seriously, what hit me like a ton of bricks? The price. It’s gonna set you back $49.99 when it drops on August 8. Then there’s this Deluxe Edition thingy that’s $59.99. Why the extra ten bucks? We’ll get to that.

Mafia: The Old Country, man, they’re selling it as a AAA game but guess what? You’re only paying a AA price. That new gameplay trailer is looking sharp, though kinda short. And there’s some developer insight video too—kinda like peeking behind the curtain, you know?

Now, Hangar 13, if you remember, they’ve had a bit of a bumpy ride before. Mafia 3 was kinda like finding a dollar in the street—cool at first, but then you realize it’s torn and taped up. Beautiful game, killer story, but the open-world stuff? Ugh. This time around, it’s gonna be a straight shot with story and era stuff in your face, no wandering off.

Could this be the sleeper hit of summer 2025? Who knows. Feels like it might be.

So, about that Deluxe Edition—what’s in the box? Well, you’ve got the Padrino Pack with a shotgun, a pimped-out pistol, and like, a whole wardrobe? There’s even a limousine. Kinda makes you feel like a big shot. Then there’s the Gatto Nero Pack, with another set of goodies for racing around—‘cause why not?

Oh, and music buffs get the Original Score, plus there’s a Digital Artbook with all that artsy stuff and notes from the game people.

Preorders? Yeah, they’re open on the PS Store. And there’s a Soldato Pack bonus for anyone who jumps on early. More outfits and some jazzy accessories. Because, apparently, style is everything.

Okay, rant over. Go check it out if you’re into this sorta game.
