The Mafia franchise, initiated by Illusion Softworks with the original Mafia in 2002, has enjoyed considerable success, with over 34 million copies sold across various platforms. The series has expanded over the years, including several expansion packs, mobile spinoffs, and remastered editions, the most recent being Mafia: Definitive Edition by Hangar 13.
Further details about “Mafia: The Old Country” are set to be revealed in December 2024, keeping the community eagerly anticipating more insights into what could be another blockbuster hit in this storied franchise.
