    Mafia: The Old Country Will Feature Sicilian Voice Acting

    A choice that will make for a more authentic experience.

    The Mafia franchise Twitter/X account has announced that Mafia: The Old Country will offer Sicilian voice acting as an option for players. Additionally, it will also feature Italian language localization for both in-game UI and subtitles.

    The Mafia series began in 2002. The third-person action game series takes players through locations throughout the United States, such as Illinois, Louisiana, and New York. The most recent mainline entry in the game was Mafia III, released in 2016. Remasters for both I and II have also been released. Now, instead of taking place in the Great Depression or post-Vietnam War era, Mafia: The Old Country will take place in 1900s Sicily.
