Rockstar and Remedy are remaking the first two Max Payne games

Rockstar Games and Remedy Entertainment announced today they are collaborating on remakes of the first two Max Payne titles. Those companies acted as the publisher and developer, respectively, of the original titles. They will launch the remakes on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Remedy will develop the remakes on the Northlight engine, the same one Control is built with. The developer is also working on Alan Wake 2 on the same engine. According to the announcement, both Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne will be bundled together. Rockstar will finance the project, which will be “in line with a typical Remedy AAA-game production.” It’s currently in a very early stage of development.
