Max Payne 3 Gets Knocked Out Of Fiscal 2010
The wait for the release of Max Payne 3 is feeling more and more like it's passing by in bullet-time. After being delayed once already, Take-Two has let slip that the game has moved out of fiscal 2010.
The announcement came in the form of a financial report that detailed Take-Two's second quarter earnings. While the ambiguous status of Max Payne 3 may be a bit disconcerting, Take-Two has plenty to be happy about: Red Dead Redemption has already sold 5 million copies and enjoys a 95 Metacritic rating, while GTA IV has sold over 17 million units worldwide.
Additionally, the report states that L.A. Noire, Mafia II, and Sid Meier's Civilization 5 are all on track to be released in the fourth quarter of 2010. It should be noted that the fiscal year actually ends October 31, so we could theoretically still see Max Payne 3 in time for the holiday season. But based on how little we've seen of the game recently, we're not holding our breath.
We'll bring you more on Take-Two's lineup when E3 begins next week.
