Max Payne is a relentless story-driven game about a man on the edge, fighting for his justice while uncovering plot twists and twisted thugs in the gritty bowels of New York during the century's worst blizzard.
Remedy Entertainment is remaking its classic Max Payne games for the current generation consoles and PC.
Developed in partnership with IP holder Rockstar, the new games will be merged into one title and, while we might not see the outcome for a year or two, it is already hotly anticipated, such is the love for the franchise.
Max Payne 1&2 Remake: What's happened so far?
It's early days in the development of the remade Max Payne games. Original developer Remedy approached Rockstar with an idea to create a single new game combining Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, which Rockstar agreed to.
"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 new game will be made in Remedy's own Northlight Engine - the game engine behind the studio's excellent Control and Quantum Break.
"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 the developer's 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."
