To share more about this new story in the acclaimed Mafia series, Game Director Alex Cox details what players can expect from this third-person, action-adventure set amidst the origins of organized crime. <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n<p><strong>What made the Hangar 13 team decide that 1900s Sicily was the best time and place to set the next title in the <em>Mafia<\/em> franchise?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Game Director Alex Cox<\/strong>: Every <em>Mafia<\/em> title aims to immerse players in an iconic period of organized crime history. <em>Mafia: The Old Country<\/em> is no different, even though we\u2019ve changed continents and turned back the clock! With the first three games exploring distinctive eras of the American Mafia, we loved the idea of heading to Sicily and exploring the early years of this fearsome crime organization. The setting felt like a great opportunity to shake things up while perfectly complementing the cinematic vision of the franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Developing <em>Mafia: The Old Country<\/em> has been a refreshing departure for the studio, with the rugged Sicilian countryside serving as a stark contrast to the bustling cities featured in our previous games. Building this story has been a great experience for everyone at Hangar 13\u2014first learning about Sicilian history and the origins of the Mafia, then adapting that into an exciting criminal adventure. In particular, the setting has allowed us to introduce some fun new features, such as horses, knife duels, and vintage vehicles from the dawn of motoring (including hand-crank engines, of course!).<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"uploadedSrc\":\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/MSFT_Screenshots_3840x2160_1-Article-Main-6148e6e0dc62d8619045.jpg\",\"figureClassNames\":\"wp-block-image size-full\",\"figureStyles\":null,\"imgClassNames\":\"wp-image-206181\",\"imgStyles\":null,\"targetWidth\":1920,\"targetHeight\":1080,\"scaleAttr\":false,\"ariaLabel\":\"Enlarge image: Mafia: The Old Country Screenshot\",\"alt\":\"Mafia: The Old Country Screenshot\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/MSFT_Screenshots_3840x2160_1-Article-Main-6148e6e0dc62d8619045.jpg\" alt=\"Mafia: The Old Country Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-206181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/MSFT_Screenshots_3840x2160_1-Article-Main-6148e6e0dc62d8619045.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/MSFT_Screenshots_3840x2160_1-Article-Main-6148e6e0dc62d8619045-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/MSFT_Screenshots_3840x2160_1-Article-Main-6148e6e0dc62d8619045-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/MSFT_Screenshots_3840x2160_1-Article-Main-6148e6e0dc62d8619045-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: Mafia: The Old Country Screenshot\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p><strong>How have the Hangar 13 team attempted to recreate such an unusual, and previously unexplored, location and era with 1900s Sicily?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cox<\/strong>: We wouldn\u2019t have made this game unless we felt able to do justice to the setting, so the first thing we did was visit Sicily ourselves to absorb its sights and sounds and get a firsthand feel for the island and its culture. We\u2019ve been working closely with a local Sicilian partner that has provided invaluable guidance during our visits and throughout all our research.<\/p>\n<p>We also consulted with experts in Sicilian history, who helped us infuse the game with all the period detail players expect from a <em>Mafia<\/em> title. From getting the brickwork just right, to selecting the perfect folk music, to choosing the juiciest Sicilian profanities, we\u2019ve done everything we can to ensure a unique sense of place permeates every moment of the experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What types of unique challenges did you encounter by setting <em>Mafia: The Old Country<\/em> in 1900s Sicily? Has it been hard to ensure that authentic period weapons and vehicles are still exciting for players used to more modern alternatives?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cox<\/strong>: Our approach to 1900s weaponry has been to make combat more tactical and deliberate than in previous Mafia titles. Gunfights in <em>Mafia: The Old Country<\/em> are rarely about raw firepower; players will need to make the best use of whatever resources they have at hand. To deliver a hefty dose of period flavor, we\u2019ve leaned heavily into the \u201ctools of the trade\u201d of a Sicilian Mafioso, from lupara shotguns to stiletto blades. There\u2019s real grit to these older, more traditional weapons.<\/p>\n<p>As for the modes of transportation, every game in the Mafia series has authentically recreated the vehicles of its era\u2014but we\u2019ve never had the player riding on horseback before! Galloping across the Sicilian countryside feels incredibly freeing and is unlike anything we\u2019ve done in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the automobiles presented a fun challenge for the team. Capturing the feel of vehicles from the dawn of motoring means you won\u2019t be hitting highway speeds on Sicily\u2019s dirt roads, but it\u2019s still thrilling to be behind the wheel of a getaway car as rival gangs give chase.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-context='{\"uploadedSrc\":\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/MSFT_Screenshots_3840x2160_2-e03d0f89531e732d918b.jpg\",\"figureClassNames\":\"wp-block-image size-full\",\"figureStyles\":null,\"imgClassNames\":\"wp-image-206182\",\"imgStyles\":null,\"targetWidth\":1920,\"targetHeight\":1080,\"scaleAttr\":false,\"ariaLabel\":\"Enlarge image: Mafia: The Old Country Screenshot\",\"alt\":\"Mafia: The Old Country Screenshot\"}' data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/MSFT_Screenshots_3840x2160_2-e03d0f89531e732d918b.jpg\" alt=\"Mafia: The Old Country Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-206182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/MSFT_Screenshots_3840x2160_2-e03d0f89531e732d918b.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/MSFT_Screenshots_3840x2160_2-e03d0f89531e732d918b-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/MSFT_Screenshots_3840x2160_2-e03d0f89531e732d918b-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/xxboxnews.blob.core.windows.net\/prod\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/MSFT_Screenshots_3840x2160_2-e03d0f89531e732d918b-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\"><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image: Mafia: The Old Country Screenshot\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s been the most exciting part of going back this far in the Mafia timeline?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cox<\/strong>: Exploring the roots of the Mafia has been genuinely fascinating, especially as this setting and time period are quite unique in video games. Iconic crime films and TV shows have given us a glimpse into Cosa Nostra\u2019s early days, but this is our chance to make the criminal underworld of 1900s Sicily playable, which is incredibly exciting.<\/p>\n<p>Because this story takes place before the events of the other <em>Mafia<\/em> games, we\u2019ve been able to create a new entry point to the franchise narrative while still tying in with characters and events from later in the timeline.

Every <em>Mafia<\/em> game has been blessed with top-quality acting talent, but I honestly feel that <em>Mafia: The Old Country<\/em> features our strongest performances to date. As with previous <em>Mafia<\/em> titles, we\u2019ve used state-of-the-art motion capture technology to convey every nuance and emotion our cast brings to the stage.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also switched to Unreal Engine 5 for the development of <em>Mafia: The Old Country<\/em>, which has allowed for an even higher level of visual fidelity than previous <em>Mafia<\/em> titles.
