Max Payne 3 Coming This Holiday Season

By Levi Thornton | March 23, 2009

2K announced today that the next chapter of Max Payne will come out later this year. We got some details from the press release.

“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.

As you can tell by the picture, when somebody grows a beard or gets more scruffy that means something is really going down.  Usually it’s something really bad. Max Payne 3 will be coming out on the Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 this winter.
