Hangar 13 released a developer diary about making Mafia: The Old Country with help from Stormind Games. The Italian studio based on Sicily helped create realistic details for the upcoming game. Stormind Games worked on titles like Remothered: Broken Porcelain and A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead before this project. The partnership focused on making everything feel authentic to 1900s Sicily for players. Game developers wanted to ground their story with real history about the Sicilian Mafia.
Artists visited small machine shops where craftsmen still make knives by hand using traditional regional methods. Previous Mafia games took place mostly during city settings but this version moves to Sicily's natural landscape. The development team believes the landscape acts like another character throughout the story. Players will build connections with Sicily as they progress through the game experience. Developers promise to deliver a classic mob movie experience for gamers.
The game launches August 8 at 50 dollars and focuses purely on storytelling rather than other gameplay elements. Unlike earlier Mafia games, this version emphasizes narrative over action sequences. Players can experience life as a Sicilian gangster during the early 1900s time period. The realistic setting transports gamers back to historical Sicily. Game creators hope players find the experience as exciting as the development team did.
