Mafia: The Old Country was a solid single player story game – but releasing as a cheaper game did clip its wings a little at launch.
Hangar 13’s hugely improved on the endgame offering with its Free Ride content a little after launch, and it looks like upcoming expansion Man of Honor is going to seriously bolster the amount of activities in the game.
While the dev is keeping the story missions – starring Mafia: Definitive Edition’s Ennio Salieri – underwraps for the time being, it’s shown off all the new Free Ride content being added to Sicily’s sandbox as part of the DLC.
This includes a ton of new contracts with a variety of unique gameplay scenarios, such as one where you’ll need to defend a car being towed by a truck.
New weapons include a 10-round shotgun and a rifle with explosive rounds, but I’m most interested in the new throwing knives which can bounce between multiple enemies, taking out two or more goons with one blade.
I expect this content’s story, due out on 14th August, to be fairly modest overall – I don’t think it’s going to extend the running time by dozens of hours. But all of these new open world activities look entertaining enough.
And to be honest, I enjoyed the core campaign enough to come back for this second helping. What about you?
