Mafia: The Old Country devs aren't worried about it being compared to GTA 6, because the two series have been diverging for the past 22 years.
In an interview with IGN, Mafia: The Old Country game director Alex Cox and Hangar 13 president Nick Baynes were asked how they felt about their sprawling crime caper releasing in the same year as GTA 6, especially since the two games come from the same publisher. In response, Baynes suggested that the timeframe involved in making modern games is now so long that "you just create the best thing you can and you hope it stands on its own two feet."
