2K and developer Hangar 13, in collaboration with their partners at Stormind Games, have released a new behind-the-scenes developer video for Mafia: The Old Country. The focus? An in-depth look at how the team is painstakingly recreating early 1900s Sicily, the setting of this highly anticipated Mafia origin story, launching on August 8, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Titled “Breaking Omertà – Part 1,” the first installment in the developer diary series offers fans a fascinating glimpse into the world-building process. Departing from the open-world structure of previous entries, The Old Country embraces a more linear, story-driven campaign that emphasizes character development, rich dialogue, and immersive atmosphere. The recreation of historical Sicily is nothing short of meticulous. Developers used original photographs, archival footage, and even on-site research trips to faithfully reconstruct the island’s distinctive environment. From cobblestone alleys and religious processions to bustling rural markets, every detail is designed to reflect the reality of the era.
Mafia: The Old Country serves as a narrative prequel to the franchise, exploring the roots of organized crime through a deeply personal lens. The game also introduces a new artistic direction, promising a fresh yet familiar experience for longtime fans. Additional episodes in the “Breaking Omertà” series are expected in the coming weeks.
The long-rumoured Persona 4 Remake is back in the spotlight, this time sparked by a surprising remark from voice actor Yuri Lowenthal. While most gamers today recognize Lowenthal as the voice of Spider-Man in Sony’s action-adventure titles, Personafans know him best as Yosuke Hanamura, one of the central characters in Persona 4. During a recent fan interaction, Lowenthal made an unexpected and now deleted – comment that has set the rumor mill ablaze:
“No, I won’t be returning as Yosuke in the Persona 4 Remake. I asked—maybe even begged—but they don’t want me back.”
The quote was quickly picked up by outlets before being taken down, igniting intense discussion within the community. While neither SEGA nor ATLUS have officially confirmed the existence of a remake, several clues are beginning to align. Earlier this year, Shihoko Hirata, the voice behind much of Persona 4’s iconic soundtrack, also made cryptic comments hinting at future involvement. Even more suspicious, a newly registered domain name suggests that something Persona 4-related may indeed be in the works.
Following the massive success of Persona 3 Reload in 2024, it would make sense for ATLUS to bring Persona 4 into the modern era with a full-scale remake. While Persona 4 Golden already provided an enhanced version of the original, fans would likely welcome a fresh take with updated visuals, new gameplay mechanics, and a reworked voice cast. Nothing is official yet, but when multiple insiders close to the franchise begin dropping hints, there’s often more than just smoke. With Summer Game Fest season just around the corner, we’ll be watching closely for any announcements.
Rise, Nightfarers, to a New Set of Challenges Set in the Elden Ring Universe with the New Multiplayer Co-op PVE Game by FromSoftware
ELDEN RING™ Nightreign, the standalone multiplayer co-op action survival game by FromSoftware, Inc. and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., is now available to players worldwide. In the game, players must navigate the twists and turns and various challenges in the harsh and unforgiving world of Limveld – a new land to explore in the ELDEN RING™ universe. The game thrusts players into co-op multiplayer PVE combat against a harsh and unforgiving world. Teaming up in squads of three – or daring to go solo – they must outlast a three day-and-night cycle, making split decisions about combat and exploration across a changing map to become strong enough to take down terrifying bosses, including the occasional familiar foe from prior FromSofware games, at the end of each day. ELDEN RING Nightreign is available now in Standard and Deluxe edition as well as a physical Collector’s Edition for PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam®. For full details on the game, the Nightfarers, and more, visit the game’s official website: nightreign.com.
Find out more of the challenges that await in ELDEN RING Nightreign by watching the launch trailer below.
ELDEN RING Nightreign is unlike any experience created before by FromSoftware, a condensed action RPG where players never experience the same journey twice, and the game environment itself is ever-shifting and evolving with each new session. In the game, players choose from one of eight unique Nightfarers, each with its own unique weapons and abilities, and must make split-second decisions about combat and exploration across a map that can fluctuate with different biomes, weapons, and enemies. Each session demands that they stay adept at thinking on their feet as the encircling Night’s Tide forces them into different scenarios with each expedition – just a hair’s breadth can separate a victorious run from crushing defeat. Surviving each day and outrunning the encroaching circle of fire pits players against terrifying bosses from ELDEN RING and other FromSoftware titles. On the third day, they must take on one of the game’s Nightlords – new, never-before-seen bosses with a new set of challenges to overcome.
Nightfarers must learn to cooperate to take down these challenges, combining their unique abilities together for an unparalleled experience in the ELDEN RING universe. All is not lost for those who fall in defeat. Unsuccessful runs will grant players relics to allow them to customize and upgrade their characters tailored to their personal play styles. Players can also discover new narratives in this parallel universe as they unravel the story behind each mysterious Nightfarer.
ELDEN RING Nightreign launches for PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam® on May 30.
