Max Payne 3 will be launched at some point during March 2012 as long as the publisher does not delay the game again, looking for more time to add polish.
The story will take the character away from New York, where he feels that his problems have proven to hard to face, and will take him to sunny Brazil, where again he is drawn into a situation where he needs to use force in order to do good in the world.
The developers have promised that signature elements like bullet time and acrobatic movement will be kept for Max Payne 3.
