Max Payne 3 is Take-Two Interactive’s upcoming third-person shooter and has been in development for a long time now, the previous game Max Payne 2 having been released in 2003. Earlier there were reports that the game would release in winter 2009, and later the company announced that Max Payne 3, along with a few of its other games would be pushed into 2010.
Now Take-Two Interactive Software, in its Financial Update, provided its initial outlook for fiscal 2010, and revealed that the release of Max Payne 3 would be further delayed. “Max Payne 3 is now planned for release during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010,” the company said in a statement.
Max Payne 3 takes a turn from the series and features a much older, bulkier and bald Max in Brazil. The game will be released for PC, Xbox 360 and the PS3, and is in development with Rockstar Games’ Vancouver studio, unlike the previous two titles in the series, which were developed by Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment.
