Recapping Previous Updates:
Nearly two years ago, Remedy and Rockstar Games announced plans for a next-gen remake of Max Payne 1 and 2, stirring anticipation within the gaming community. Following a period of relative quiet, Remedy provided an update in October 2023, indicating that the remake had progressed into the production readiness stage. The studio expressed confidence in the project, citing an “exceptionally well-organized team” and a clear vision for the game’s style and scope.
New Development Details Revealed:
In a recent financial statement covering the entirety of 2023, Remedy disclosed significant progress on the Max Payne remakes. The company reported that the project had continued to advance during the year, remaining in the production readiness stage. Notably, Remedy revealed that the Max Payne 1&2 remake would be fully funded by Rockstar Games, sharing a development budget similar to that of Alan Wake 2.
The budget for Alan Wake 2, estimated at €70 million, underscores the substantial investment in the Max Payne Remake, positioning it as a major new game with significant potential. While specifics of the budget were not disclosed, Remedy’s partnership with Rockstar Games ensures robust financial support for the project.
