Max Payne 3

Hey everyone, remember Max Payne 3 exists? Of course you do — who could forget Max’s surprising, somewhat Andrew Sullivan-esque makeover. And it turns out Take-Two still remembers the game as well, even though it now looks like the oft-delayed title may not be hitting retail shelves until 2012.

As part of the strong financial results Take-Two revealed earlier this week, they also issued a release schedule of upcoming games planned for 2011 and even a couple already announced for 2012. And curiously missing from it is, yes, Max Payne 3. When asked what the status of the game was by Kotaku, a Take-Two representative only said, “We’re still working hard on Max, and we’ll have more news in the coming months.”

The last time Max Payne 3 was heard of, it was delayed back in June to release some time beyond the company’s 2010 fiscal year. Six months later, and there’s still no indication of when it’ll finally be released.
