Mafia: The Old Country Studio President Says GTA Comparisons Are “an Internet Thing”
Hangar 13 president Nick Baynes stated that comparisons between the Mafia franchise and Grand Theft Auto are primarily an "internet thing" and do not influence the studio's development strategy. While acknowledging the similarities, Baynes emphasized that Mafia focuses more on narrative-driven experiences, contrasting with Grand Theft Auto's sandbox gameplay. The article also briefly touches on the "Man of Honor" DLC for Mafia: The Old Country, which was released in August 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
