Remedy Entertainment announced Alan Wake 2 last year, but I can confidently say that for many players the return of the respected writer will not be the most important production in the history of the experienced studio. The developers have just confirmed the cooperation with Rockstar Games.
Under the prepared contract, Remedy Entertainment will create the “Max Payne 1 & 2” project, and it is the developers responsible for the Grand Theft Auto series that will fully finance the game – oficjalnie jest to remake Max Payne i Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne.
Developers emphasize that the cooperation between Remedy and Rockstar Games dates back to the original release of the well-received Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne – even then the games were created by Remedy and published by Rockstar Games.
Now we can confirm that Remedy Entertainment will provide “games as one title”, that is, it will be a bundle that will hit the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S and personal computers. Developers will use their proprietary Northlight engine. It was on this technology that Quantum Break, Control and CrossFire X (story mode) were created.
“We were delighted when our longtime friends at Remedy approached us with a proposal to remake the original Max Payne games. We are huge fans of the work that the Remedy team has been creating over the years, and we can’t wait to play the new versions, “said Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games.
“Max Payne has always held a special place in everyone’s heart at Remedy, and we know that millions of fans around the world feel the same. We are very excited to be working again with our partners at Rockstar Games to bring back the story, action and atmosphere of the original Max Payne games for players, “Remedy CEO Tero Virtala said.
Rockstar Games has provided a budget that matches “a typical Remedy production for AAA games”. The game is currently “in the conceptual development phase”, so we will probably have to wait a few years for the premiere.
