Developers highlight differences between Mafia: The Old Country and Grand Theft Auto 6
Mafia: The Old Country and Grand Theft Auto 6 are set to release close together, but developers emphasize they are different games. Mafia focuses on a linear, narrative-driven experience, while GTA 6 is expected to be a vast open world. Mafia: The Old Country is set in early 1900s Sicily, featuring a new character, Enzo, who rises through the mafia ranks. The game aims for authenticity, with developers conducting research trips to capture the historical setting accurately. Unlike previous Mafia titles, this game will not be open-world in the traditional sense. Players will experience a structured story with opportunities for exploration, similar to Mafia 1 and 2, rather than engaging in endless side quests.
