Max Payne 1 + 2 Remake Is “Making Good Progress”

Since their announcement in 2022, Remedy has been very forthcoming about the Max Payne 1 and 2 remakes. In April last year, the team said that the remakes had reached the proof-of-concept stage, in October it said that the game had reached the “production readiness stage“, and in April 2024, it confirmed the game would be entering full production in Q2, which it did.

Revisiting Remedy’s 2001 shooter makes me nostalgic for more than just the games of that era.

Now, as part of a recent investor call, the Finnish studio gave another small update on the games, saying they were “making good progress”.

Speaking to investors as part of its Q3 2024 review, Remedy said of the remakes, “Max Payne 1 + 2 Remakes is all the time making good progress in the production phase,” adding, “Overall, throughout 2024, our game projects have been advancing at improving speeds.”

Remedy also touched on the much-anticipated Control 2 as part of the call, saying, “Control 2 continues in production readiness and is advancing step by step towards the production phase.”

When answering investor questions, Remedy confirmed that Control 2’s budget remained the same as anticipated at 50 million Euros.

The company was also asked if it had the resources to produce Control 2 alongside FBC Fire Break (and Max Payne 1 + 2 Remakes), with CFO Santtu Kallionpaa saying, “We are managing our portfolio of games and projects, and we have plans ready to make it happen.”

With so many games in the pipeline, Remedy said it’s “not stopping here,” as it improves its development processes and efficiency, the company will have “more space for creativity in areas where it matters most for players.”
