When gangs threaten the family he's hired to protect, he's forced to do whatever he can to protect them. Max Payne 3 takes place in Sao Paulo, Brazil where Payne has tried to start a new life working private security for a wealthy man and his family.

According to Rockstar co-founder Sam Houser, 'this is a Max as we've never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever.' When we see Max, he's at his worst his life is spiraling downward and he's since left New York City behind. Since we last saw him, Max has been followed by the traumatic memories of his past. Max Payne 3 takes place several years after the events in the second game. But if any studio can take the action and storytelling to the next level, it'll be Rockstar, and if what we've seen of the game so far is any indication, this looks like it's going to be one hell of a ride. This is a unique project for Rockstar, as the previous two Max Payne titles were handled by Remedy Entertainment, the studio behind Alan Wake. Now, the folks at Rockstar Games are breathing new life into the series, with the third game due out next year. Ever since, fans have been clamoring for a third game in the series. The wait for a third game in the popular Max Payne series has been a long one, as Max Payne 2 came out eight years ago.
