Max Payne 3 is slated to release later this year, but apparently no one at Remedy is actually working on it. Remedy reports that they’re currently too busy putting the finishing touches on Alan Wake, and when they’re finished have no plans to continue the Payne as he’s no longer their baby.

According to Remedy’s Oskari Hakkinen, “Max was a long process for us obviously as well. We sold the IP to Rockstar who are now doing their interpretation of Max Payne. I haven’t seen it. I mean, I’ve seen the screenshots, and you know what? Rockstar doesn’t make bad games. Rockstar make awesome games, and, rightly so, they’re going to make their own interpretation of Max Payne and it’s not going to be a Remedy game. But it’ll be awesome, because it’s going to be Rockstar. It’ll be interesting to play it and see their interpretation. Sam Lake is the brainchild behind the Remedy version, so Rockstar should make their own interpretation of that.”
