Look for the Android version to launch on April 26th
In celebration of Rockstar’s upcoming cinematic action-shooter, Max Payne 3, Rockstar Games is proud to release Max Payne Mobile, providing the full classic Max Payne experience with new customizable controls, optimized for iOS devices.
Originally published and developed by Rockstar Games and Remedy Entertainment in 2001, Max Payne was a groundbreaking title that introduced the concept of Bullet Time® to videogames.
Using Bullet Time as its chief gameplay mechanic, Max Payne’s presentation and design pays homage to the bullet ballet style of Hong-Kong action cinema. The game’s presentation included noir-inspired graphic-novel cutscenes that, in addition to Max’s inner monologue, created a lead character that went beyond the caricatures typical of action shooters at the time. Max’s complex storytelling and dark atmosphere were unique concepts whose influence continues to this day.
Max Payne Mobile offers a full suite of camera and aiming options tailored to many different skill levels and preferences, providing addictive pick-up-and-play for casual players, while still retaining the precision and unmistakable Max Payne feel that fans remember. Speed, aiming settings, sensitivity and button layouts are customizable.
Rockstar Games has enhanced the original Max Payne in its complete form, adapting the classic title to take full advantage of iOS devices. The original PC version of the game has been included in its entirety, with updated resolutions to run natively in a widescreen format, as well as high-resolution textures.
Nearing the release of Max Payne 3, we’re thrilled to release Max Payne Mobile for fans to experience the original and get ready for the next chapter in the series’ history.
