Lore & Background
Mafia: The Old Country is set in Sicily during the 1900s in and around the fictional town of San Celeste, which was previously featured in Mafia II. It is based around the origins of the Sicilian Mafia. The narrative follows Enzo Favara, who journeys from a childhood of indentured labor as a carusu in Sicily's sulfur mines to joining the crime family of Don Bernardo Torrisi.
Reader's Guide
Mafia: The Old Country is a third-person linear, narrative-driven game set in cinematic environments. This brings the game more in alignment with Mafia and Mafia II rather than the more open-world oriented Mafia III. While Mafia: The Old Country is primarily linear, the player can diverge from the primary path during certain story chapters to explore the environment, or sometimes to reach optional objectives.
