2K Games takes stock just a few days before the release of the fourth game in the Mafia franchise.

Initiated by the Czechs at Illusion Softworks, the Mafia franchise was born on August 29, 2002 in North America and on September 6, 2002 in Europe, because back then, games weren't always released worldwide. Available exclusively on PC for almost two years, Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven was a critical and popular success, prompting its publisher - 2K Games - to adapt it for consoles, PlayStation 2 and Xbox in this case, before launching work on a sequel. A second opus that called for a third and even a fourth today, as Mafia: The Old Country prepares to land worldwide on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. Take note, it arrives on August 8.

Of course, 2K Games hasn't missed a beat in its communications around a game that promises to be THE big release of the summer. The video above is an opportunity to delve a little deeper into the storyline of a game that has undergone quite a change of setting compared to the three previous opuses. This is no longer a sequel, strictly speaking, or a game set in the United States. Mafia: The Old Country is a prequel, set in Sicily at the beginning of the 20th century. The imaginary town of San Celeste is the setting chosen by the developers, a setting previously evoked in Mafia II.

A few days before a release, it's customary to publish the game's hardware requirements. Somewhat surprisingly, 2K Games had already published such indications last May, but at that time only two performance levels were mentioned (minimum and recommended). Today, the development studio and its publisher have mentioned a third threshold, far more ambitious than the previous ones. You can choose to play in Full HD (1920 x 1080), QHD (2560 x 1440) or UHD (3840 x 2160). Incidentally, the three most modern scaling techniques will be on the menu from the game's launch: NVIDIA's DLSS 4, AMD's FSR 4 and Intel's XeSS 2. No jealousy!
