Mafia: The Old Country Receives Major Update
The widely acclaimed game, Mafia: The Old Country, has unveiled its most significant update since its release. Enthusiasts can rejoice with the ‘Free Ride’ update, which introduces a slew of exciting features and content.
New Features and Enhancements
This latest update brings to the table a Classic difficulty mode that demands players to meticulously manage both their health and ammunition. New horse and car races have been included, alongside replayable combat challenges and an optional first-person driving perspective. Additionally, the update introduces a Photo Mode, allowing players to capture their best moments in the game.
Players seeking a touch of classic cinema can now enable Cinema Siciliano, transforming the game’s visuals into a stunning black-and-white homage to vintage Italian films. Alongside these features, the update also rewards players with new vehicles, weapons, outfits, and charms to collect.
Mafia: The Old Country’s Success
Mafia: The Old Country initially launched in early August, earning praise from critics. The game has been hailed as a fine Sicilian Mafia story, achieving an impressive rating of 8 out of 10. Despite not exploring more of Sicily, the game masterfully delivers a compelling narrative experience, complemented by engaging gameplay. Its affordability further adds to its appeal.
Publisher 2K proudly shared that the game exceeded sales expectations, selling over 800,000 copies in its first week. Recently, rumors have surfaced about a potential new game being greenlit, casually mentioned by one of the main actresses, Carina Conti. Although this information has yet to be confirmed, sources suggest that the success of this shorter, more linear cinematic approach might encourage developer Hangar 13 to pursue similar projects in the future.
Stay tuned for any updates on possible sequels or new developments within the Mafia universe.
