Even if you're new to the series, all players who sign up for and log into the game with a new 2K Account can earn additional in-game rewards for Mafia: The Old Country, which you can learn more about on this page*.[/p][p][/p][p]We also want to share a sincere message of gratitude from the team at Hangar 13 to the entire Mafia community, whether you're just joining the Family today or you swore an oath of Omertá when the original game launched way back in 2002: [/p][p][/p][p]"It's hard to believe it's been nearly nine years since Mafia III. So much has changed for us at Hangar 13, and as we reflect back, we're proud to say that one thing has stayed constant: our love for developing cinematic, narrative-driven games.[/p][p][/p][p]We believe there will always be a place for these types of experiences in our industry, as we saw first-hand with the reception to Mafia: Definitive Edition. We were reminded just how much we love to create this style of game, and how much you—our fans—love to play them. [/p][p][/p][p]We're thrilled that Mafia is back! And not only is it back, but Mafia: The Old Country represents a bold return to the franchise's roots. It's a linear, cinematic experience driven by character and story. Most importantly, it's a mob movie you can step into and play out, just like every Mafia title that came before—and it's best enjoyed spoiler-free, so we ask players to please honor the code of silence and preserve the narrative for others to play through at their own pace.[/p][p][/p][p]So, on behalf of all us at Hangar 13, thank you. Thank you for your support, your passion, and your dedication to this series that means so much to us. We hope you enjoy the game."[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/45157904/3f912084a9c0c3894e2da457b49ca26e2a9cf3cf.gif"][/img][/p][p]
