Remedy and Rockstar Games have announced they will be remaking Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne.
“We were thrilled when our long-time friends at Remedy approached us about remaking the original Max Payne games,” said Rockstar founder Sam Houser.
“We are massive fans of the work the Remedy team has created over the years, and we can’t wait to play these new versions.”
The popular PS2 games will be remade using Remedy’s Northlight game engine – the same engine used to develop Control, and the upcoming Alan Wake 2.
Remedy will be handling the development of the remakes while the development budget – which is AAA-game level – will be financed by Rockstar Games.
“Max Payne has always held a special place in the hearts of everyone at Remedy, and we know the millions of fans worldwide feel the same,” said Remedy CEO Tero Virtala.
“We’re hugely excited to be working with our partners at Rockstar Games once again for the chance to bring the story, action, and atmosphere of the original Max Payne games back to players in new ways.”
The Max Payne remasters are currently in the concept development stage and will be made for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
We are pleased to announce that we will remake the iconic Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, in a new development agreement with Rockstar Games.
