 Features

• Rich period-authentic crime drama — Experience life in early 1900s Sicily: corruption, vendettas, turf wars among rival families, and the moral weight of becoming a mafioso. The narrative focuses on loyalty, betrayal, survival and the consequences of choices.

• Third-person action-adventure gameplay — Mix of violent melee combat (knives, close-quarters), period-authentic firearms (handguns, shotguns, rifles), stealth takedowns, and blunt-force gunplay — depending on how you approach missions.

• Diverse environments & travel — Move through Sicilian towns, countryside, vineyards, ruins, underground crypts, opera houses and more. For travel or escape, you can ride horses or drive turn-of-the-century cars, adding atmosphere and immersion.

• PS5-Optimised Experience — The game is enhanced for PS5 (and PS5 Pro): features include fast SSD loading, support for DualSense haptic feedback & adaptive triggers, 3D audio. On PS5 Pro, the game supports higher dynamic resolution, VRR, 120 Hz display support — giving smoother, sharper presentation.

• Linear, story-driven design (with optional exploration mode) — Rather than a sprawling open world, the focus is on a tightly curated narrative journey. This ensures a cinematic, focused “mob-movie” style experience rather than side-missions overload.
