As mentioned earlier, Mafia The Old Country will not feature any open world characteristics and will be a “linear, narrative-driven game.” The official Q&A 2 blog post from 2K reads the following:

"While Mafia: The Old Country is a linear and narrative-driven experience, some missions will offer the freedom to take your own route toward objectives. In other words, similar to Mafia and Mafia II, you'll be given opportunities to freely roam through a detailed and lived-in world."

Your main character, called Enzo Favara, has to fight and survive in the dangerous Mafia world, ultimately proving his worth to the Cosa Nostra. You will get an overall immersive gameplay experience comprising fight scenes, politics, and character development, as the Mafia series is famous for.

The game will be available in two different editions: Standard and Deluxe. The former costs $49.99, while the latter is priced at $59.99 and will feature additional cosmetics and bonus items.

In terms of platforms, the title will be available to play on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Also, note that you can currently pre-order the game on Steam, which will provide you with the Soldato pack upon its official release. The pack will contain the Soldato outfit, Scannaturi Speciale knife, Tesoro horse and accessories, and the Lupara charm.
