Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake Has Entered Full Production

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for gritty narrative-driven action games, hearing about the imminent release of the Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake has sent a wave of nostalgia coursing through my veins. The original Max Payne titles were some of the first games that truly resonated with me, their blend of hard-boiled storytelling, bullet-time mechanics, and atmospheric visuals leaving an indelible mark on my gaming experience.


It appears more and more likely that Remedy Entertainment’s upcoming major single-player game will be a combined remake of their first two Max Payne titles. Back in October, the Finnish studio revealed that the project had reached the production readiness phase, and they have now moved on to the next stage of development in 2024 – a phase that Remedy has confirmed has started.

In their latest financial report for the quarter, Remedy Entertainment announced that the remake of Max Payne 1 and 2 has moved into full production. The development team is currently focusing on creating a functional third-person shooter from start to finish with this project. It’s unclear how long this stage of development will last, but it’s expected that the next significant step for the game will be its release, whenever that may be.

Sam Lake, creative director at Remedy Entertainment, once referred to the remake of Max Payne 1 and 2 as a substantial task. The aim is to modernize both games and merge them into a single product. This ambitious project will be fully financed and distributed by Rockstar Games, who own the intellectual property (IP). The budget for this project is expected to be on par with that of Alan Wake 2.
