The gaming community was already quite thrilled about GTA 6 releasing in 2025. However, the excitement levels seem to have gone further up with the announcement of a new installment in Hangar 13's Mafia franchise, Mafia The Old Country, also dropping next year.

Only a single trailer has been dropped for them so far, but more of Mafia The Old Country will be showcased in December 2024. Screenshots of the game are also available on its official website and Steam page.
