Remedy's upcoming Max Payne remakes are about to enter full production, with the team providing an update on its plans during a new investor call. Previously announced last year to be "into the production readiness stage", the company's pair of remakes will go into full production during Q2 2024.
As for when we can expect these games (which will be combined into one package) to actually get a launch window - we're not sure at the moment. However, Remedy has said that these spruced-up classics will have a similar development budget to 2023's Alan Wake 2, so we're expecting the team to be working on these for a fair while yet.
There's a bunch of other stuff going on behind the scenes right now at the Finnish developer also. Control 2 is "finalizing the proof-of-concept" phase, while that same franchise's spin-off — Codename Condor — has already moved into full production and seems the most likely Remedy title to launch next.
We're looking forward to pretty much all of these Remedy projects to be honest, but especially Max Payne 1+2, as not all of us at Pure Xbox HQ have experience with these classic third-person shooters. It's getting about time we, ahem, remedied that, don't ya think?
What do you make of this news? Discuss all of Remedy's future plans down below.

I took a video game hiatus for three years because of my brand new marriage, moving to a new city, and law school all at once. There were two games that pulled me back in-Fallout 3 and Max Payne. I am very grateful to those games for reigniting one of my favorite hobbies, and so I am unreasonably excited for the remakes.
I just really hope they use the James McCaffrey voice work. Those games would not be be the same without his excellent portrayal of Max Payne.
Can't wait for this! Fond memories of entering a room years back and hearing "IT'S PAYNE!! AAAARGH!" as bullet time began 😂
I need this in my soul!
I played through both games on PC in college. A similar budget to Alan Wake 2 has me excited for these remakes. Remedy games aren't for everyone but if you click with their style and storytelling then there have been few developers as prolific and consistent. The shared worlds between games is a welcome bonus.
Hopefully it means Alan wakes dlc will drop soon I'll wait to see what max Payne looks like hopefully it good never liked the original 2 games
Have loved a bunch of the recent remakes and remasters but this one will be a very special day one purchase for me!
@Weapon_Wheel Although not connected with other Remedy games, don’t forget Lords & Ladies and Dick Justice tv shows! I used to literally stand in front of the tvs in-game and watch each episode as I progressed through the games.
I can’t wait for this and a definite day one purchase but I’m not expecting it to release until 2026 or late 2025 if we’re lucky.
Hooraaaaay, I’ve been waiting for so long!
@TJ81 still prefer the art direction wayyy over Bethesda
