Mafia: The Old Country seems to be fairly popular with people who have played it. It’s a slight departure from what we’ve come to know from the series, though.
Instead of the fully open world, it has a linear structure with some areas to explore. That seems to be coming to an end pretty soon though.

hanger 13 has announced mafia: the old country’s free ride mode
In a social media post, Hanger 13 said:
“Today, we’re excited to confirm 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐞 is on its way! Expect some new activities and gameplay, arriving free for all players in the coming months.”
While I’m sure this is exciting news for most people, I can’t help but wonder if they should have let Mafia: The Old Country exist as it does now. I’ve loved my time with the other games in the series. However, I appreciate seeing developers take a different direction and stick with it. If they felt the more structured, straightforward story was the way to go, I’d think that was for a reason.
That being said, I’ll take it. The Mafia world is always fun to mess around with, and I have faith that the extra missions and activities will live up to the quality of the series. As far as the narrative itself, it’s being held up as a great experience and as a point of origin for the series as a whole, this synopsis has me ready to dive in:
“Uncover the origins of organized crime in Mafia: The Old Country, a gritty mob story set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily. Fight to survive as Enzo Favara and prove your worth to the Family in this immersive third-person action-adventure set during a dangerous, unforgiving era. Enzo will do anything for a better life. After a brutal childhood of forced labor, he’s ready to risk everything to become a man of honor in the Torrisi crime family.”
