Rockstar Games kündigt Max Payne 3 an

Die Jungs von Rockstar Games gaben soeben die Entwicklung von Max Payne 3 bekannt. Wie in den Teilen zuvor schlüpft man wieder in die Rolle des kantigen Cops Max Payne. Das Spiel soll ein komplett neues Kapitel seines Lebens präsentieren. Max Payne 3 soll bereits diesen Winter erscheinen.

Rockstar Games Vancouver kümmert sich um die Entwicklung. Das Team hat sich unter anderem durch BULLY einen Namen gemacht.

Die offizielle PR:

The award-winning Max Payne franchise put players in the role of Max Payne, a hard-boiled New York City detective with a penchant for violence, out to avenge the death of his family. The latest installment delivers more of the classic elements and hyper-intense action that fans have come to love, while moving the story of Max in a new direction.

\"We’re starting a new chapter of Max\'s life with this game,\" said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. \"This is Max as we’ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation.\"

Since leaving the NYPD and New York itself behind, Max has drifted from bad to worse. Double-crossed and a long way from home, Max is now trapped in a city full of violence and bloodshed, using his weapons and instincts in a desperate search for the truth and a way out.

Max Payne 3 will be available in winter 2009 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
