We wrote that 2K Games and Hangar 13 presented the first gameplay trailer of the crime action game Mafia: The Old Country. And there is some good news for Ukrainian fans.

Here's What We Know

On the game's official website, 2K has once again confirmed that Mafia: The Old Country will get a textual Ukrainian localisation. This is the first time in the history of 2K that the publisher has added a Ukrainian translation to its game.

Now the main thing is that the game will be translated by the Ukrainian union, and not by Russians or a "Cypriot" company, as it was already the case, for example, with Alan Wake 2.

As a reminder, the events of Mafia: The Old Country will take place in the early 1900s on the homeland of the Italian mafia - the island of Sicily. The game will be a kind of prequel to the first part of the series.

The release will take place on 8 August on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series.
