Max Payne for the new generation
Second notethe games will be produced for PS5, Xbox Series and PC, using Remedy’s Northlight graphics engine, and being financed following a AAA title strategy. The negotiation between the companies also reinforces that the creator of Control will be rewarded with royalties, after Rockstar recovers its revenue margin from development and distribution costs.
“Max Payne has always held a special place in the hearts of everyone at Remedy, and we know that millions of fans around the world feel the same way,” said Remedy CEO Tero Virtala. “We are very 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.”
