Is Mafia The Old Country multiplayer co-op?

If you’ve been eyeing Mafia The Old Country and hoping to dive in with a buddy in multiplayer co-op mode, well, don’t hold your breath. Straight up: The game has no multiplayer or co-op support, and it’s not coming later either. This one's a pure single-player experience, and that's not changing anytime soon.

This is not a leak or a rumour, it's straight from the source. On the official The Road to Launch: Community Q&A page for the game, the developers have specified that "there are no plans for multiplayer or online modes” in The Old Country.

Mafia The Old Country - No multiplayer co-op, just you and the story

If you’ve played previous Mafia games, this probably won’t come as a shock. The series has always leaned heavily on story-first gameplay, and Mafia The Old Country is sticking with that same DNA. It's not chasing the current live-service trend or tacking on forced multiplayer co-op. Hangar 13 is doubling down on what they know works: a tightly directed, cinematic solo journey.

Nick Haynes, the studio head at Hangar 13, mentioned that the team behind The Old Country has taken inspiration from Mafia: Definitive Edition and Mafia II, games known for their focused, linear, deep narratives.

Any hope for multiplayer co-op later?

Not really. 2K has already shut that door. In the same Q&A thread, the developers confirmed that there's no multiplayer mode in the roadmap either. They’re fully focused on making this story feel like a complete saga from start to finish without the bells and whistles of a co-op mode.

Now, sure, somewhere down the line, modders might try cooking up their own multiplayer setup, as has been done before in other single-player titles. However, such a mode wouldn't be officially supported by Hangar 13 or 2K. So, if you’re banking on a legit multiplayer co-op mode, don’t.
