Hangar 13, the studio behind the sprawling narrative of 'Mafia: The Old Country', has announced a forthcoming addition to its downloadable content offerings. Dubbed 'Man of Honor', this new pack is slated for release sometime this summer, promising to expand upon the game's existing framework. Details surrounding the 'Man of Honor' DLC remain sparse, with Hangar 13 offering only a summer release window.
