Max Payne 3 Being Released May 2012

Max Payne 3‘s release has been delayed to May of this year, 2012, from its targeted release date of March, which Take Two Interactive has officially announced. According to a statement, the publisher is pushing the release date to ensure the game “delivers the highest quality, groundbreaking entertainment experience.”
 
The original announcement of Max Payne 3 came from Rockstar Games back in March 2009, and the company was targeting a Winter 2009 release. Multiple releases were eventually between the game’s announcement and its now upcoming release over three years later, including L.A. Noire and Red Dead Redemption.
 
In the third installment of Max Payne, Max Payne now works as security for a wealthy man, Rodrigo Branco, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Branco’s wife is kidnapped, pulling Payne into “a conspiracy of shadowy, warring factions.”
 
Since the game’s release date has been pushed yet again, Take Two is now reporting a fiscal loss for the 2012 year, which ends in March, of $210 million to $230 million. With its release in fiscal year 2013, Max Payne 3 will be launched closer to other Take Two titles including XCOM, BioShock Infinite, and Borderlands 2.
 
The official release dates for Max Payne 3 in North America are May 15th for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with a May 29th release date coming for the PC. Internationally, the game will launch May 18th for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with a June 1st release for PC.
