Hot on the heels of last week's Max Payne 3 announcement comes a rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board revealing Rockstar Games' plans to release Max Payne and its sequel, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, on Xbox 360 as Xbox Originals via the Xbox LIVE Marketplace service.
Max Payne is a relentless, urban, revenge-driven story of a fugitive cop with nothing to lose. Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is a tragic Film Noir love story set in the night of New York City. An intense, visually staggering third-person action game, Max Payne 2 sets a new standard for cinematic, narrative-driven gameplay.
With Max Payne 3 confirmed for this Winter, we expect the first two installments in the Max Payne series to join the Xbox Originals catalog between now and then.
Rockstar Games is proud to announce that Max Payne 3 is currently in development and scheduled for a winter 2009 release on the Xbox 360. Developed by Rockstar Vancouver, Max Payne 3 tells the story of a retired police detective embroiled in a world of corruption, turmoil and intense violence.
"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.
Max Payne 3 will be available in winter 2009 for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and PC. For more information, log onto www.rockstargames.com/maxpayne3
