解説と影響
本次“荣誉之人”扩展包将带来两个全新的故事章节，进一步拓展《四海兄弟：故乡》的主线剧情。根据 Gematsu 的报道，玩家可以直接在主线战役中体验这些新章节，或者在游戏进程推进到一定程度后直接访问它们。这为已经通关的玩家提供了重返西西里岛的理由，去探寻更多关于“荣誉”背后的秘密。
除了线性剧情，DLC 的重头戏在于对“自由驰骋”模式的大幅扩充。在基础版游戏中，该模式允许玩家按照自己的节奏探索西西里乡间，或完成一系列可重复的挑战任务。而根据 PlayStation Blog 上 Josh Zammit 的介绍，在“荣誉之人”中，教父萨列里本人将在波尔托·阿尔马罗的一个仓库里坐镇，亲自向你下达更艰巨的新任务。这些任务将不再局限于单纯的驾驶或枪战，Gadgets 360 的报道指出，新任务类型将包括追踪特定目标、寻找隐藏的战利品储藏点、拖运高价值车辆以及完成紧张的交付任务，整体难度相比本体有明显提升。
从目前释出的实机画面来看，玩家依然能感受到那个时代粗粝的质感和紧张的帮派氛围。如果你喜欢在《四海兄弟：故乡》的世界里漫无目的地游荡，或者渴望更具挑战性的帮派差事，8 月 14 日上线的“荣誉之人”或许是个不错的回归契机。

Hi everyone, I’m Josh Zammit, design director at Hangar 13 working on the Man of Honor expansion for Mafia: The Old Country . We’re super excited to share the first look gameplay above, and I’d like to reveal a bit more about the Free Ride content included in the DLC. Man of Honor features two new story chapters set in the earlier days of Enzo Favara’s service to the Torrisi crime family, letting you team up with respected mafioso Ennio Salieri to settle old scores. In addition to the two new story chapters, owning the Man of Honor expansion grants you access to a new set of exclusive jobs and extreme challenges we’re adding to Free Ride mode, along with new collectibles and locations added to the Valle Dorata map. Play Video If you haven’t played Mafia: The Old Country yet, Free Ride mode lets you explore the Sicilian countryside at your own pace, or take on a collection of repeatable Challenges separate from the critical path that include combat encounters, stealth missions, and different kinds of races. In the new Man of Honor Free Ride content, you’ll take on new assignments from Salieri himself, who has set up shop in a Porto Almaro warehouse where he spends his days devising new schemes and smuggling stolen goods. Longtime Mafia fans know Salieri well, given his central role as the Don of his own crime family in the city of Lost Heaven, where the original Mafia and Mafia: Definitive Edition take place. Making Salieri the focal point of Man of Honor lets us showcase who he was before his emigration to America and subsequent rise to power, deepening his backstory in a really engaging way. Though still feared and respected in Sicily, this younger Salieri is much scrappier and has to hustle to get his cut of the Family’s various rackets. With Salieri as your new point of contact for Man of Honor’s Free Ride content, you’ll drop by his hideout to pick up two types of contracts: Challenges and Jobs. Salieri’s Challenges follow a similar format to the ones you can currently take on in Free Ride mode, but with amped-up difficulty that will test the mettle of even the most seasoned soldato. Salieri’s Jobs introduce brand-new mission types, tasking you with tracking down your objective and dealing with anyone who tries to get in your way. Seeking hidden caches of valuable loot, towing high-value vehicles back to Salieri, delivering stolen trucks full of precious-but-fragile goods—whichever job you take, success will line your pockets with extra Dinari. You can spend those ill-gotten gains to add new outfits, Charms, weapons, vehicles, and horses to your collection, all exclusive to this expansion. As you can see in the gameplay footage, the unique weapons and Charms you can earn in Man of Honor gave us space to play around with perks that push just beyond the bounds of period-accurate realism. For example, take the Rimbalzu throwing knife, which bounces to a second target so you can quickly and silently take down multiple enemies from the shadows. It would take near-impossible skill to throw a ricochet between targets every time, but the effect is incredibly fun and empowering, especially for players who prefer the stealthy approach. We wanted to design fresh and exciting weapons for a range of playstyles, and the added stopping power of these additions to Enzo’s arsenal can help give you an edge during Salieri’s most difficult assignments. Along with all the new items and missions on offer, there are plenty of optional activities you can seek out as you explore the Valle Dorata. Keep your eyes peeled for collectible Wanted Posters which, in keeping with a fun series tradition, use members of our development team (myself included) in period-accurate attire for their mugshots. You can also soar through the air in your turn-of-the-century automobiles via added Stunt Jumps, or destroy delivery trucks loaded with sulfur to hit back at the people who betrayed Salieri. The Man of Honor expansion for Mafia: The Old Country arrives next week on August 14. We can’t wait to see how you tackle the new content in Free Ride mode, and what the fans think of a younger Ennio Salieri in the added narrative content. Until then, mafiosi. Base game required. Some content requires unlocking via gameplay.
