Remedy Says Max Payne 1 and 2 Remakes Are in Full Production

With Rockstar Games controlling publishing, Remedy says it cannot disclose progress or make promotional announcements about the remakes.

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.
