Remedy Entertainment has confirmed that Max Payne 1&2 Remake is in full production, with development proceeding as planned. This status update comes from the company's financial report for the first three quarters of 2026 released to investors.
The project will not release the first two entries in the series as separate products; instead, it will remake both games from scratch and combine them into a single complete product. Confirmed target platforms include PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series.
The project is being developed directly by Remedy. Rockstar Games holds the Max Payne IP, will fund the entire production, and handle global publishing.
Speculation that the title may release in 2027 is based on Remedy's past development cycles and is not an official schedule announced by Remedy or Rockstar. Other rumors suggest Rockstar's publishing plans could be affected by the release of GTA VI, but this should not be taken as officially confirmed delays or promotional arrangements. The only clear official information remains that the project is in full production and progressing as planned.
