For some years now, RemedyEntertainment has changed in stature within the video game world, multiplying projects along the way. So after Alan Wake Remasteredit’s a Alan Wake 2 which we are now expecting for 2023. Earlier this year, the studio released the scripted campaign for CrossfireX and he still has other projects in the pipeline, namely a free-to-play PvE shooter tentatively titled Vanguarda sequel to control and one spin off baptized multiplayer Condorenough to extend the Remedy Connected Universe. But that’s not all, as just revealed a publication intended for investors.
Remedy and Rockstar Games will collaborate again after all these years to revive license Max Payne by offering remakes of the first two episodes released at the time on PS2, Xbox and PC (and a few other mobile platforms for the former).
The relationship between Remedy and Rockstar Games dates back to the original release of the games Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, developed by Remedy and published by Rockstar Games. Both games have left an indelible mark on popular culture, praised for their neo-noir atmosphere, groundbreaking storytelling, and bullet-time gunplay.
“We were thrilled when our longtime friends at Remedy approached us about remaking the original Max Payne games,” said Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games. “We’re big fans of the work the Remedy team has created over the years, and we can’t wait to play these new releases. »
“Max Payne has always held a special place in the hearts of everyone at Remedy, and we know millions of fans around the world feel the same way,” said Remedy CEO Tero Virtala. “We’re extremely excited to once again be working with our partners at Rockstar Games for the chance to bring the story, action, and atmosphere of the original Max Payne games to players in new ways.” »
As part of the development agreement signed today, Remedy will develop the games into a single title for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S using its proprietary game engine Northlight. The game’s development budget will be funded by Rockstar Games, which will be sized in line with a typical Remedy AAA game production. Under the agreement, Remedy has a royalty opportunity after Rockstar Games recovers its development, marketing and other costs for distributing and publishing the game.
The project is currently in the conceptual development stage.
This Max Payne 1&2 Project does not currently have a release period, but its simple announcement is enough to please many players who enjoyed these two very dark games at the time.
