Remedy’s announcementsays they are remaking the first two Max Payne games “as a single title” for PC, PS5, and Xbox Xeriex XS inside their Northlight engine (as seen in Control). The remakes are still in “the concept development stage” so I wouldn’t expect them anytime soon. And that’s about all we know.

“We were thrilled when our long-time friends at Remedy approached us about remaking the original Max Payne games,” Rockstar Games co-founder Sam Houser said. “We are massive fans of the work the Remedy team has created over the years, and we can’t wait to play these new versions.”

The big question is: will Remedy writer Sam lake resume his role as Max’s face in high-def? Didn’t feel right when his virtuaflesh was recast for Max Payne 2. He’s still got it:
