Remedy Entertainment and Rockstar Games have entered an agreement that will see the former remake the first two Max Payne games.
Announced earlier this week (April 6), Remedy Entertainment released a press release saying that it will be remaking the original Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. According to the statement, Remedy will develop the games as a single title for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S using its proprietary Northlight engine. Rockstar will finance the development budget, which apparently will be in line with Remedy’s typical budget size for a AAA-game production. The statement also notes that the project is only in the concept development stage, so don’t expect to see anything of it anytime soon.
“We were thrilled when our long-time friends at Remedy approached us about remaking the original Max Payne games,” said Sam Houser in a statement, founder of Rockstar Games. “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.”
