20 Most Anticipated Video Games of 2025

18. Mafia: The Old Country

Grand Theft Auto VI Lucia
Hangar 13

The Mafia franchise has certainly had its up and downs over the years, but the near-decade-long wait for a new entry has been nothing short of agonising for fans regardless.

The crime series' fourth game is a prequel, taking place in early 1900s Sicily and focusing on the origins of the Mafia itself, following protagonist Enzo Favara as he comes from nothing and joins the Torrisi crime family.

The new setting and time period should lend The Old Country a distinct flavour compared to the series' prior efforts, and it's clear that returning developer Hangar 13 is doubling down on the cinematic action the franchise is known for. 

Don't be surprised if this scores Mafia's best reviews to date and rejuvenates the IP in the process.

Mafia: The Old Country releases in Q3 2025.
