New York, NY – March 23, 2009 – Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce that Max Payne 3 is currently in development and scheduled for a winter 2009 release on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and PC. Developed by Rockstar Vancouver, Max Payne 3 tells the story of a retired police detective embroiled in a world of corruption, turmoil and intense violence.

The award-winning Max Payne franchise put players in the role of Max Payne, a hard-boiled New York City detective with a penchant for violence, out to avenge the death of his family. The latest installment delivers more of the classic elements and hyper-intense action that fans have come to love, while moving the story of Max in a new direction.

"We're starting a new chapter of Max's life with this game," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "This is Max as we've never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation."

Since leaving the NYPD and New York itself behind, Max has drifted from bad to worse. Double-crossed and a long way from home, Max is now trapped in a city full of violence and bloodshed, using his weapons and instincts in a desperate search for the truth and a way out.

Max Payne 3 will be available in winter 2009 for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and PC.

Bad news is it's not developed by Remedy (since they're too busy with Adam Wake), but rather the Bully dev. Let's hope they have what it takes to make a great shooter.

...he grew a beard.
(Max "Niko" Payne joke goes here)

Also, I'm sort of skeptical if the new developers manage to capture the style of Sam Lake's bordering-on-cheesy noir writing.

Speaking of, when the fuck is Alan Wake coming out? I've been excited about that game for like, 5 years!

But this is pretty sweet news. Was the second Max Payne any good?

Edit: Like a glorious angel, my roommate descended upon my dwelling with a copy of Max Payne 2, completely unaware of my wanting for the game. I love my friends.
