Although Mafia: The City of Angels did not feature Italian voice acting at first, 2K Games has since clarified their reasoning behind this initial oversight – opting instead for the Sicilian dialect as a viable alternative.
A new nation is born: The Previous Nation has finally been unveiled during the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, accompanied by a tantalizing teaser trailer that sets the stage for its 2025 launch and offers a glimpse into the game’s unique representation of the mod underworld in early 20th-century Sicily.
Following the game’s release on Steam, enthusiasts noticed a discrepancy: the platform’s store listing for the game’s Italian version lacked full audio support, whereas other languages like English, French, German, Spanish, Czech, and Russian all had this feature enabled. Despite initial confusion regarding the factors set in Italy, 2K has intervened to clarify the situation.
The authenticity of the Mafia franchise is paramount, and Mafia: The Old Country prioritizes this by offering voice acting in Sicilian, mirroring the game’s 1900s Sicily setting.
So, there you have it: no mishap has occurred; rather, developers had to collaborate with Sicilian, a regional dialect that boasts distinct characteristics, expressions, and pronunciations sufficient to be regarded as a unique language in its own right, separate from standard Italian. Here’s a rewritten version:
While it may be tiring to fully explain why the two diverge so significantly without delving into Italy’s modern history, understanding this context is well worth the effort, especially if you’re interested. I extend warm greetings to Giuseppe Garibaldi, saying “Ciao” in his honor.
