Mafia: The Old Country PS5 Launch Window Leaks Ahead of The Game Awards

Any time is a great release for that. Of course, if it is ready since there is trend for releasing not ready games.

I like the Mafia games but they're always lacking in the way of side activities.

@Sergo Don't forget the honour of also paying extra for early access to said broken game.

Mafia Origins; only next gen 🤤 this has got to be surely the ultimate mafia game

If the game ends up like Mafia 1 and 2 where it's open-world but it doesn't really have much side content, I wouldn't actually mind. An enjoyable Mafia story is all that I need,

I'd wager it's going to be,

Spring - Borderlands 4
Summer - Mafia
Fall - GTA 6

@UltimateOtaku91 where do you think Ghost of Yōtei will sit?
For me it will either be March (if close to being ready for release) or a Sept/Oct release window.

It feels like GTA6 is going to dictate the release schedule of 2025!

@UltimateOtaku91 that actually seems accurate. Borderlands is the only one that might change because of the scale/this one has to hit better than 3.

@ZeD I think Ghost will be in the fall. March right after AC Shadows would be interesting though.

Lmao Alan Wake 2 The Lake House explained. I thought it was the most obvious of the games narratives.

@QBGaming12 I don't know. I can see May to July period 2025 like the first one. Perfect for the summer.

@TheArt I'd say the Mafia franchise's biggest issue is bad mission structures. They play out like the very old GTA games. Mafia 3 is fantastic story packaged in a very dull game.

This sucks for the devs being so close to announce it in a few hours.

@ZeD my comment was purely for Take Two's release schedule, but I think Sony will 100% want to avoid GTAs release window. So I think Ghost of Yotei will launch in the summer.

At this point a lot of developers/publishers will be holding off on announcing release dates and will be a huge sigh of relief from them if GTA gets delayed to 2026.

@QBGaming12 April - July would be my guess for Yotei, Hiroki Totoki's comments earlier this year deconfirms January - March (Sony's current fiscal year is April 1st 2024 - March 31st 2025) meanwhile August - December would be too close to GTA6.

I could see a Horizon game release in Fall 2025 though as that franchise always seems to have the worst possible release timing.

@UltimateOtaku91 however you look at it, 2025 could be a very stacked year for games, with GTA6 (potentially) being the cherry on the top at the end of the year
