******: The Old Country – Release Date, Trailer, $50 Price, Smaller Time Commitment, And Everything Else We Know

2K’s ****** franchise returns this August with ******: The Old Country. The game is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and in a big shift from other AAA games, it’s priced not at $70 or $80, but $50.

It’s the first new ****** game since 2016’s ****** III, and it comes from the same studio, Hangar 13.

In this post, we’re running through everything we know about ******: The Old Country, including its status as a less-expensive, less time-consuming title, preorder details, story information, and lots more.

When will ******: The Old Country be released?

******: The Old Country is set for release on August 8, 2025. That’s about a month before the next big 2K game, Borderlands 4, launches in September. GTA 6–another title from 2K owner Take-Two–was set to follow sometime after in 2025, but the game has been delayed to May 2026.

******: The Old Country story, setting, and characters

******: The Old Country takes players back to, well, the old country–that is, Sicily. Players take on the role of Enzo Favara, a mobster whose life began in forced labor in his childhood. Now, 2K says he’s “ready to risk everything to become a man of honor in the Torrisi crime family.”

The game will play like a “classic mob movie,” 2K says, and this means players will encounter the criminal underworld and everything that entails. Players can expect to face off against “cutthroat enemies” as they live the life of a mobster battling in turf wars.

“Enzo’s story unfolds in a time when skill with a stiletto blade was a deadly asset, a lupara sawed-off shotgun was a go-to firearm, murderous vendettas raged for decades, and mafiosi patrolled their protection rackets on foot, horseback, or behind the wheel of turn-of-the-century motorcars,” 2K said.

Not open world

Unlike previous entries in the series, ******: The Old Country is a liner, narrative-driven game as opposed to an open-world title. 2K has said it believes there is a “large audience for compelling stories that don’t require massive time commitments.”

2K is releasing The Old Country as a linear game, and priced at $50 instead of $70 or more, against the backdrop of the proliferation of games with ballooning budgets, higher price points, and ******* asks from players to spend more time in their worlds.

So far, players have responded positively to the news of The Old Country’s lower price point and trimmed-down scale, but it’s too soon to say if this will pay off both in terms of the game’s critical reception or sales.

******: The Old Country game engine

******: The Old Country is developed using Epic’s Unreal Engine 5, as well as Epic’s AI-powered MetaHuman technology for its character models. In

, the developers talk about using Epic’s game engine to hone in on “tiny details” to make The Old Country look alive. The use of MetaHuman allows characters to have “micro-expressions” and lifelike details, developers said.

Who’s developing ******: The Old Country?

******: The Old Country is developed by Hangar 13, the same team that made 2016’s ****** III, as well as 2020’s ******: Definitive Edition. The studio also made 2024’s TopSpin 2K25–very much not a mobster game. The ****** franchise was created by Illusion Softworks, which rebranded to 2K Czech when 2K bought the studio in 2008 and put the team on ****** II. 2K Czech later merged with Hangar 13.

******’s creator, Daniel Vavra, now heads up Kingdom Come studio Warhorse.
