Today, we're proud to announce that Max Payne 3 - the new dark, gritty action experience that continues the tale of former New York City detective Max Payne and is sure to satisfy both newcomers and veterans to the historic franchise alike - is expected to launch on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in March 2012 in North America and Europe.

Still haunted by the memories of his traumatic past, Max begins a new life working private security protecting a wealthy industrialist and his family in Sao Paulo, Brazil. 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.

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.

Stay tuned for much more news very soon and check out a pair of brand new screenshots from Max Payne 3 below.

So the story is based on "Man on Fire/Ek Ajnabi". Nothing new there, although the premise is great for an action game. But this also disconnects this game's storyline with that of the previous Max Payne storylines which is kind of sad because I was hoping for an angle on Max and Mona's relationship, kind of like Mr. and Mrs smith.

The graphics are looking good, I just hope they retain the graphic novel style of the previous games.
 
Hmmm... so March 2012 it's going to be. The second screenshot looks nice though, although the story premise of the story doesn't seem too riveting.
 
Seriously man... this trailer better be good! I'm so bloody excited about the trailer that I have a tab open already of Max Payne 3's website although I know the trailer will be available no sooner than noon Eastern time. Hehe!!

Btw, noon Eastern time... exactly what time is that going to be here, I mean in IST?
