Publisher 2K appears to have accidentally leaked its own release date for Mafia: The Old Country, with a Steam news post promoting an upcoming PAX East panel stating the game will be out for PS5 on 8th August 2025. The article no longer contains the text in question, but an original copy was captured by Twitter profile @videotechuk_.

In the post, it’s stated “Mafia: The Old Country will be available on August 8, 2025”. Please see below:

Given the paragraph was attached to a piece about the upcoming PAX East panel, it’s certainly possible that Hangar 13 plans to officially share the release date there. The game has been slated for a summer release, so early August would line up with this aim.

Mafia: The Old Country was announced roughly eight months ago for PS5, but very little of it has actually been shown. With a release date now expected at the PAX East panel, it’s likely new gameplay will accompany the reveal.

“Uncover the origins of organized crime in Mafia: The Old Country, a gritty mob story set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily,” is the developer pitch. “Fight to survive as Enzo Favara and prove your worth to the Cosa Nostra in this immersive third-person action-adventure set during a dangerous, unforgiving era.”
