Mafia: The Old Country gets a $10 story DLC starring young Don Salieri
Hangar 13 is expanding Mafia: The Old Country with a paid story add-on called Man of Honor, out August 14, 2026, for $10. The DLC centers on Ennio Salieri — the younger version of Don Salieri, the antagonist from the original 2002 Mafia — and slots directly into the base game's 1905 Sicilian timeline. For anyone who finished The Old Country and wanted more of that world, this is exactly the kind of follow-up that fits.
The story
Man of Honor picks up as a young Salieri walks out of prison and returns to his criminal operations. Enzo Favara — the base game's protagonist — is sent by Don Torrisi to assist him, bound by long-standing obligations between their clans. The two new chapters integrate seamlessly into the main campaign, so you can play them mid-story or revisit them as standalone missions once you've made enough progress, per VGC.
Beyond the narrative, the DLC brings new vehicles, additional weapons, extra amulets for Enzo, and previously unseen Sicilian locations. A new Free Ride mode section is also included for players who want to explore without mission pressure.
Why this exists
The Old Country launched August 8, 2025, at $50 — a deliberate step below the $70 AAA standard — and received mixed critical reviews. That didn't stop it from selling. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick confirmed the game moved more units than the company anticipated, according to Wikipedia (Mafia: The Old Country), which is almost certainly what greenlit Man of Honor.
The $10 price keeps the same lean approach as the base game. There's no platform exclusivity; PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S all get it simultaneously on August 14. The base game is required to access the DLC.
The Salieri angle
Don Salieri is the reason many players came to The Old Country in the first place — he's the defining villain of the franchise's first entry, and seeing his origin story told through two focused chapters is a stronger hook than a generic mission pack. Whether the DLC improves on the base game's pacing concerns remains to be seen, but at $10 the barrier to finding out is low.
