Pleasant Surprise: PS5 Price for Mafia: The Old Country

Mafia: The Old Country’s finally getting its moment in the spotlight. And yeah, Hangar 13 and 2K dropped that news bomb with a slick new trailer. So mark it down—August 8. PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC—the usual suspects. But it’s the price tag that made me do a double take. We’re talking $49.99 for the standard, while the Deluxe Edition is hitting at $59.99. I mean, really? For something this shiny?

So, they say it’s got this AAA vibe but only charging like a middle-tier dinner out. The trailer—wow, short but sweet, like getting a whiff of something cooking next door. Oh, and there’s this big ol’ developer chat to dive into if that’s your thing.

Remember Mafia 3? Yeah, it looked great, stories to tell your grandkids, but the open-world thing was…meh, kind of like trying to find matching socks in the dark. This time around, they’re cutting to the chase: linear gameplay. “Quality storytelling,” and “authentic era immersion,” they promise. Lots of big words. Might just be the summer blockbuster of 2025—well, we’ll see.

Now, if you’re eyeing the Deluxe Edition, it’s packed to the gills. Padrino Pack has got this shotgun called Lupara Speciale, and all sorts of snazzy gadgets—like the kind of stuff you don’t need but totally want. There’s a Gatto Nero Pack too, with pistols and racing gear. Oh, and a Digital Artbook if you’re feeling artsy.

Preorders? Already open over on the PS Store. You get this Soldato Pack with all things ‘Soldato,’ which probably makes you feel cooler than you are. Outfits, accessories, the works. What more could you ask? Apart from, you know, the actual game in your hands already.
