2K Confirms Mafia: The Old Country Will Have Sicilian Voice Acting in Response to Fans' Concerns
2K and Hangar 13 surprised just about everyone yesterday when it announced the next entry in the Mafia franchise. However, following its launch, some found information that suggested the game would not have Sicilian (or Italian) voice acting in the upcoming project despite it being set in Sicily. Fortunately, 2K has reassured fans that it will be present in the game.
Authenticity is at the heart of the Mafia franchise, and Mafia: The Old Country will offer voice acting in Sicilian, inline with the game's setting in 1900s Sicily. Additionally, Italian language localization will be available for both in-game UI and via subtitles.
In a statement posted on X/Twitter, the official Mafia account confirmed that The Old Country will "offer voice acting in Sicilian." It further confirmed what was already made public on the Steam page: the Italian language localization will be available for the game's subtitles and in-game UI.
2K and Hanagr 13 are issuing the statement for clarification as some on the internet (primarily X/Twitter) were quick to point out that Mafia: The Old Country's Steam listing discloses that the game will get full voice acting in six languages: English, French, German, Spanish — Spain, Czech, and Russian.
