Rockstar Games today announced that Max Payne 3 is currently in development and is scheduled to hit the store shelves in Winter 2009, for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. Developed by Rockstar Vancouver, Max Payne 3 tells the story of Max Payne, a hard-boiled New York City detective with a penchant for violence, out to avenge the death of his family. Since leaving the NYPD and New York itself behind, Max has drifted from bad to worse. Double-crossed and a long way from home, Max is now trapped in a city full of violence and bloodshed, using his weapons and instincts in a desperate search for the truth and a way out.
