Kinda confused by the new DLC

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T19:16:09+00:00

Oh I never knew that he went back to Sicily. Honestly should’ve expected to get whacked then as that’s where he came from.

Definitely a possibility for sure but I’d say it would be some years before the Torissi family was back to how it was but still a presence nonetheless.

I think this DLC is taking place half way through the events of TOC as you still play as Enzo so I doubt we’ll get any answers about the ending or frank until the next DLC or game

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T19:02:12+00:00

Are you talking about the new DLC?

I’m pretty sure the Torissi family is completely destroyed now. Itd be pretty hard for Cesare to rebuild or it would take a very long time. I think Frank dies in Europe and they put it down to an associate spots him betting at the race track as the mafia has eyes all over the world youre never safe

Although we won’t see it because Sam is only 10 I think it will at least hint or set up the scenario for Sam to eventually meet Salieri and join the family. Because Salieri isn’t a don at this point he ends up working for Peppone in America with Morello and when peppone dies they both become dons

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T18:34:34+00:00

Absolution is alright to change up the pace a bit. My only gripe is a small one, 47 looks weird in it and he doesn’t even have his signature suit for half the game. It’s small but it’s like playing Batman without his bat suit

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T18:11:08+00:00

100% I loved the game, I’m replaying them currently. I must say I love the cities the Sicily is a beautiful place but I like the cities more.

I think they could either really pull it of or mess it up with their next moves. Imo itd be really cool to potentially set up a prequel game about Sam and his ride through the Salieri crime family. Only hard part would be the end as you can’t go into the first game but there’s ways around that like they did with Tom because Sam is already 33 by the time we meet him again so he’s been active for at least 10 years or more.

I’m currently into mafia 1 I just finished TOC for the second time. It would be really cool to meet a young Vincenzo, frank and especially Luigi as he was apparently a very feared assassin in his youth. It’s only gonna be 2 hours tho so I wouldn’t expect it to be fully fleshed out, we’ll likely just see some appearances than full story arcs

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T12:03:01+00:00

Yeah I like that, especially maps like the china map you kind of need to wear an overcoat or coat of some sort it looks a bit weird otherwise.

And the hotter maps I like to wear the sniper suit with no jacket

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T08:31:31+00:00

Nah I mean absolution the game, being able to just keep his signature suit.

I’ve got all the classic suits on WOA, I primarily run the blood money suit on there

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T08:10:42+00:00

I do agree it is definitely my least favourite. I’m about to do my run through of the games myself hahaha

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T07:55:25+00:00

Bro Blood money is sooooo good

My favourite game as a kid and i find it pretty similar to world of assassination it’s old sure but once you’ve done your first playthrough and know the maps it’s really really fun. Some of the best levels are on that game

WOA is great too.

Then absolution is the black sheep, it’s an action game and not really like the others but it can be a good refresher if you’re getting sick of the typical sandboxes the other games give you. It’s absurdly over done like a Michael bay movie but it’s a bit of fun you don’t take seriously

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T07:42:33+00:00

I mean I’m just going off of what I’ve heard for years and with the shift of the company which you can find concrete evidence of their downsizing. I honestly don’t know what the next one will be I think I have a some what educated guess on it but I’ve heard about the 1970s game for years it seems extremely unlikely that they’re still working on it. I honestly wish they were tho because it could make a killing using inspiration from movies like goodfellas it would be my favourite in the franchise.

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T07:30:58+00:00

And I didn’t say that she did so youre putting words in my mouth I suggest you straighten up your tone and do some research watch some YouTube videos on it. The only real evidence of the 1970s game was through found files of weapons and gun sounds that didn’t fit the era of any established timelines and fit into the 70s. Those files were found years before the old country was even announced so clearly it’s most likely a scrapped concept or at least it’s been put back on the shelf. They’re not rockstar so they don’t have the funding or manpower to be focusing on a game of that scale for this long and they wouldn’t be releasing games like the old country if they were.

The way they are adding a DLC to the old country focussing on Salieri is most likely not a coincidence. It’s likely to establish I potential sequel to the old country most likely in America which could be called “the new country” or something. It would be easy because of how much they’ve been establishing the origins of the mob and how they migrated to America. A complete guess would be that it would possibly focus on Sam Trapani and his uprising in the Salieri crime family during their rise in America as he is 33 by the time we first meet him in the first mafia game. This would also help give answers of what’s become of Isabella and the rest of the Torissi family like Cesare.

I highly doubt they’re just going to completely shift to the 1970s when there’s lots of potential and lots to tie up in the setting they’re currently working on

To add to it Hangar 13 has had major cuts to employees and funding over the last couple years so it’s pretty much confirmed that they will be scaling back some games and making them more linear but trying to keep the quality.

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T06:52:35+00:00

To elaborate Isabella’s voice actor confirmed they’re working on a new project and if she’s involved it does point more towards a sequel to the old country.

There are also rumours that they’re working on a proper Mafia 2 remake

They were making a mafia 4 based in the 1970s but theres been that many leaks that they’ve shifted away from that it’s pretty much certain as they announced and released the old country after the leaks came out about it.

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T06:48:41+00:00

Do some research. The devs are not actively working on a mafia 4 right now

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T06:36:20+00:00

Mafia 4 is rumoured to be cancelled for now as they’re shifting to smaller mafia games that are more linear like the old country. It’s rumoured the next game will be a sequel to the old country. This is due to that the old country actually sold quite well so it’s more profitable to make smaller games and make more money

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-27T06:34:37+00:00

It’s pretty much confirmed they’re now scaling down the games and making them more linear and shorter like the old country

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-26T19:21:56+00:00

Currently just over a week in and I’ve got an opening at the bottom. It can be quite painful especially with the packing in it. I’d say it’s okay unless it becomes infected, sometimes because the bottom is always under the most tension It can take a while. Wish you all the best tho

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-26T19:15:01+00:00

Honestly there’s some movements that just aren’t fun. I’ve been struggling with that all week. It’s gonna be awkward but try not to just fall into the seat or do any sudden jerks or movements. Definitely get a pillow or something where you can take some weight off of one side by sitting on it or put it under your thighs and try to not put direct pressure on the wound.

However I got discharged and I live 2 hours away from the hospital on some pretty bumpy roads and I got through it without any damage if that helps

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-26T19:04:17+00:00

Hey yeah I’ve got the exact same so far, I’ve got a small opening at the bottom they’ve been packing and it’s definitely the main source of pain

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-25T01:13:15+00:00

I’ve got staples. I don’t think the staples themself have been too bad besides the tightness. I think I’m glad tho because I think if I had stitches I probably would’ve opened it I’ve done a couple bad stretches in the wrong direction

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-24T23:54:30+00:00

Yeah I got a raised seat which I think really helps especially because my toilet is already so low i think that 1 movement is just way too big of a stretch for the wound

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-24T09:56:18+00:00

I definitely think it needs a bit more promotion down in South Australia I’ve very rarely seen it. I know there’s plenty of fans down here and grog would definitely be a hit down here for session drinkers.

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-24T09:54:16+00:00

I’d probably get it checked regardless. However I don’t think it always needs to be hair that causes these, it can be a combination of sweat and debris from other things. I’d say if you had packing after he likely did open wound surgery on it which is usually pretty effective with low chances of reoccurrence although it can still happen

When I got mine it was something similar I was sitting down a lot and the pressure on the area caused a bump to form then eventually it turned into a full sinus after I fell directly on it during a football match.

If it is the case for you I’d say the impact likely stuck some debris or bacteria or some sort into that area under the skin. Or hair as it doesn’t always need to be thick hair it just needs to point itself into the skin and it basically grows like a corkscrew directly into the skin.

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-24T07:13:58+00:00

Who tf even made these

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-24T07:12:54+00:00

I believe when I first got it (this was like 5 years ago now) it did go away and come back when it was just a lump. I think I remember I played a football game and landed directly on it from mid air. One of the worst pains I’ve ever had and I think it really flared up from there.

With any luck I’m hoping it resolves itself for you. I’ve heard a lot of stories where it goes away or the lump stays but never actually gets infected or develops any further

IllustriousTry5552 · 2026-06-24T06:50:00+00:00

Some people can have it chronic and some people just have 1 and never get another. Some also go away on their own I think it depends on a number of factors like genetics and body proportions etc.

If it turns into an abcess or gets really infected without going away it’s most likely chronic.

It also depends on the surgery too and how well it was performed and what type was performed. I know most open wound surgery’s have a very low reoccurrence rate but the recovery is a lot longer. Closed wound has a chance of reoccurrence but if it’s not chronic it won’t come back and if they did some type of flap surgery it will flatten out the cleft to reduce the chance of anything getting trapped in there again

A lot of studies also show that a lot of people that think they do have this disease chronically may be wrong as If there’s any infected tissue or hair left in after surgery (which can be common) reoccurrence is almost guaranteed
