Overview
- Remedy confirmed in its half-year financial report that the Max Payne 1 and 2 remakes are in full production.
- Remedy’s investor relations manager Aapo Kilpinen said Rockstar Games is handling publishing, which prevents Remedy from answering public questions about the projects.
- Remedy is focusing public attention on its own game Control Resonant, which the company reported has healthy pre-orders and roughly 1.5 million wishlists.
- Industry context from recent reporting and executive comments suggests Take-Two’s digital-first stance and Rockstar’s planned GTA 6 rollout are likely to shape when Rockstar will announce or market the remakes.
- Observers expect Rockstar to use a short, tightly controlled marketing window and to delay major updates while GTA 6 dominates the release calendar, and a post-2027 launch would make a physical PlayStation disc unlikely.
