Max Payne 3 launch window moved back

17 January 2012

Take-Two Interactive announced today (17 January 2012) that Rockstar Games expects to launch Max Payne 3 in May 2012, moving it back from the originally anticipated Match 2012 window.

Rockstar Games plans to announce further details later today.

This delay has the effect of moving the initial release of Max Payne 3 from Take-Two’s fiscal fourth quarter 2012 into its fiscal first quarter 2013. As a result, Take-Two now expects to report a net loss for fiscal year 2012 the company announced.

“We do not take changes to our release schedule lightly, and this short delay will ensure that Max Payne 3 delivers the highest quality, groundbreaking entertainment experience that is expected from our company,” said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two.

“Max Payne 3 promises to be one of our most exciting releases to date, and we are confident that consumers will once again be amazed by Rockstar s ability to take interactive entertainment to another level,” said Zelnick.

Take-Two’s upcoming releases include BioShock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Spec Ops: The Line, XCOM, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and other titles yet to be announced.
