Max Payne hit the PC on July 23, 2001, with a version for PS2 and Xbox later that year. Since then, we’ve seen a second part in 2003, as well as a third installment in 2009. Similarly, in 2008 came a film adaptation starring Mark Wahlberg.
Although at the moment there is no information on a fourth installment or a collection, perhaps in the future we will see the return of Max Payne through a remastering or relaunch for current consoles. We can only wait and see what Remedy Entertainment’s plans are for this series.
On related issues, Tencent has acquired part of Remedy Entertainment. Similarly, a rumor indicates that Alan Wake 2 would be in development.
