Max Payne 1 & 2 are getting remade, by the original developers at Remedy Games

In a surprising move, Remedy Games the folks behind Alan Wake and Control, have announced that they are partnering up with Rockstar Games, to remake Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, which is great news as they were the developers of those titles in the first place.

“We were thrilled when our long-time friends at Remedy approached us about remaking the original Max Payne games,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games “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.”

“Max Payne has always held a special place in the hearts of everyone at Remedy, and we know the millions of fans worldwide feel the same,” said Remedy CEO, Tero Virtala. “We’re hugely excited to be working with our partners at Rockstar Games once again for the chance to bring the story, action and atmosphere of the original Max Payne games back to players in new ways.”

Rockstar Games owns the IP, but the games were created by Remedy, long before flashlights, time-travel and interdimensional beings became their thing.

The remakes are coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC, but there is no date beyond that yet.
