8 September 2011

Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, has announced the release window for Max Payne 3.

The title is expected to be launching on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 in March 2012 in South Africa, Europe and North America.

“Max Payne 3 gave us an amazing creative opportunity to evolve one of our most iconic characters,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “We’re excited to show fans a modern version of Max that pulls them back into his dark and twisted story.”

About Max Payne 3

Max Payne 3 continues the tale of former New York City detective, Max Payne. Still haunted by the memories of his traumatic past, Max begins a new life working private security protecting a wealthy industrialist and his family in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

When gangs target the family under his protection, Max is forced to fight to save his clients and clear his name, in a bid to, once and for all, rid himself of the demons that have tortured him for far too long.

Picking up where the release of Max Payne 2 from series creator Remedy Entertainment left off, Max Payne 3 is a cross-studio collaboration between Rockstar Games’ global development teams.

The game utilizes Natural Motion physics and a new iteration of Rockstar’s own Rockstar Advanced Game Engine. “The result offers highly-refined gameplay, with an extensive range of realistic weaponry, an intelligent cover system and sophisticated Bullet-Time mechanics,” states Rockstar.

In addition to a single-player campaign, Max Payne 3 will be the first title in the series to introduce a multiplayer experience.

“Max Payne 3’s multiplayer aims to deliver a compelling experience that dynamically alters maps and mode progression for all players in a match. Along with traditional multiplayer modes, Max Payne 3 will also include a deep reward and leveling system, persistent clans and multiple strategic load-out options,” said Rockstar.
