Following the critical acclaim Alan Wake 2 has received, Remedy Entertainment dropped a smidge of information regarding the Max Payne Remakes in their Q3 earnings report.
Announced way back in April 2022, Remedy Entertainment revealed the existence of a Max Payne Remake and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne Remake. Today, Remedy Entertainment released their Q3 earnings report which contained positive information about the remakes, and that the development is moving into the “production readiness stage.” The Q3 report also mentioned that Alan Wake Remastered “recouped its development and marketing investments,” meaning these types of remakes can become profitable for the developer in the long run.
Remedy Entertainment CEO Tero Virtala said “We have gained clarity on the style and scope of the game, and we have an exceptionally well-organized team working on it. With these accomplishments, we are excited about the project and its future success” regarding the Max Payne Remakes. Remedy Entertainment Creative Director Sam Lake has mentioned in multiple interviews that the Remedy Connected Universe would only contain Remedy IPs, which means former Remedy titles Max Payne and Quantum Break wouldn’t be involved, but the return of Max Payne via a Max Payne Remake is a promising step forward for preserving the cult-classic on modern consoles.
In other news, the Q3 earnings report has also confirmed the development of Control 2. Virtala mentions “Control 2 continues in the proof-of-concept stage. The plans for this sequel are ambitious, and we have seen good progress both in the designs and in the game build” so development is moving along. Also, aside from the Max Payne Remakes, Remedy has confirmed the previously announced Co-op multiplayer title Condor is also in the production readiness stage and the existence of a new project titled “Codename Vanguard” without much of a timeline.
