Max Payne 3

Max & Multiplayer

Last month Rockstar put out a few new screenshots of Max Payne 3, and today the company has revealed even more details about the game, including a release date.

Max Payne 3 will come out in March for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in North America and Europe.

Apart from the game's release date and the couple of screens below, Rockstar also talked about the game's introduction of multiplayer to the franchise. This component of the game will not only feature the traditional multiplayer experience (complete with loadouts, clans, rewards, and leveling), but it will also "dynamically" alter maps and feature a mode progression for all of the match's players.

Given what Rockstar has been doing with Red Dead Redemption's multiplayer, we're just as excited for this mode as we are for the gritty single-player story campaign.

  • This looks amazing. The first two games were phenomenal and I just played through them both again recently. I have been following this and anticipating the release for awhile. March is such a great time frame since it will be just finishing up the main "gaming" season and starting to go into the summer lull of nothing.

  • Max Payne 3?

    SH*T YES!!!!!

  • PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting on this game forever, and that first pic is the box art because it looks bad@$$!

  • As a huge fan of the Max Payne series I must state that I'm all over this game no matter what! I just hope Rockstar keeps Max's noir and gritty style with the graphic novel cut scenes.
  • Thanks GI!,

    So boys and girls.. mark your calendars for the next great Rockstar Game.. March 2012.. Max Payne 3... cant wait looking forward to getting deep into this franchise on the ever powerful PS3

  • hope its good =D

    haven't hear of Max Payne since 03-04

  • Could be awesome. Will have to wait and see. Coming out in March is going to give it some steep competition from Mass Effect 3 though.
  • Seems odd that there is not a lot of information on this game. Maybe as we get closer to release we will be bombarded with details. Hope this game is great. Max Payne is one of my top 10 favorite PS2 games.

  • March Max Multiplayer MADNESS!!! WOOO!

  • WHY do they always have to tack on multi-player? This is another one of those games who does not need the multi-player treatment. Spend more time on the single player story! That's why Max Payne was so awesome.
  • I think it's going to be interesting to see Rockstar go back to Max Payne.  Leaving the open world format and focusing on graphics and gunplay will certainly be a turn for the company.

  • Why is he still bald?
  • Throwaway multiplayer? Yay........

  • Wait march of next year?
  • Bald Max Payne reminds me of John Travolta in From Paris With Love haha. Q1 of 2012 looks really interesting now.

  • oh hell yes!

  • wow these are some detailed screenshots, i'll have to keep my eye on this one.

  • that girl on the cover is sexy

  • Wow, that is soon.

  • It's about *** time!
