After the death of Mona Sax in Max Payne 2 : The Fall of Max Payne, Max has drifted from bad to worse. In Max Payne 3, set several years after Max Payne 2, a major incident forced him to quit the NYPD. Now, locked up and closed off from the world, Max tries to drown his sorrows with alcohol. It doesn’t take long for Raul Passos, Max’s friend from the NYPD academy, to notice that his old friend has nothing left to live for and is destroying himself.
Still haunted by the memories of his traumatic past, Max begins a new life working private security protecting a wealthy industrialist (Rodrigo Branco) and his family in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Unsurprisingly he finds trouble, or trouble finds him, in one of the most crime-ridden cities in the world. When gangs target the family under his protection, Max is forced to fight to save his clients and clear his name, in a bid to, once and for all, rid himself of the demons that have tortured him for far too long. After all that has happened, after all the time that has passed, the unlucky predicament he finds himself in now still keeps Max from redemption.
Max Payne's appearance keeps changing over time. Bald, bearded, bulky and addicted to painkillers. It will show just how crazy Max becomes to survive.
A true cross-studio collaboration between Rockstar Games’ global development teams that picks up from where series creator Remedy Entertainment's Max Payne 2 left off, Max Payne 3 utilizes cutting edge technology for a seamless, cinematic action experience, incorporating the latest advances in Natural Motion physics as well as a brand new iteration of the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine, resulting in highly-refined gameplay with an extensive range of realistic weaponry, an intelligent cover system and sophisticated Bullet-Time mechanics.
In addition to an expansive single-player campaign, Max Payne 3 will also be the first entry in the series to introduce a thorough and engrossing multiplayer experience. In a unique twist, Max Payne 3 multiplayer delivers a compelling experience that dynamically alters maps and mode progression for all players in a match. Along with traditional multiplayer modes, Max Payne 3 will also include a deep reward and leveling system, persistent clans and multiple strategic load-out options.
