Mafia: The Old Country is set to introduce a new free-roaming gameplay mode called Free Ride, allowing players to immerse themselves in the game’s world without the constraints of missions. This mode, part of a planned free update within the next few months, aims to connect the game to its early 20th-century roots.

This release follows the game’s debut on August 8, where it garnered a mix of reviews, with 64% recommending it to fans on OpenCritic. Critics praised its engaging Sicilian mafia narrative but noted that its gameplay felt somewhat outdated.

Revolutionary Free Ride Mode

Originally introduced in the first Mafia installment, Free Ride allows players to explore and enjoy the game’s expansive world. It provided significant freedom in customizing gameplay options and hunting for secrets without any storyline constraints.

While details on this update are still emerging, it has been confirmed that the Free Ride mode will reinvent the original by adding new gameplay activities, enhancing the exploration aspect for players wishing for a more immersive experience.

For those seeking traditional gameplay alongside the nostalgia of the series, the Free Ride mode is being looked forward to, especially since the game currently includes a free-roaming Explore Mode that allows for trophy hunting without story interruptions. This update may provide players with further freedom and countless possibilities.
