Max Payne 1 + 2 Remake is finally entering full production soon. This comes directly from Remedy, as the developer gives us an update on the various games it currently has in the works.

The Max Payne Remake is set to enter full production in Q2 2024, which could mean anytime between now and the end of June. This is a few months after it entered the "production readiness stage", suggesting that development is progressing at a good pace.

It's good news for Alan Wake fans as well, as Remedy also mentions that it's still working on DLC to "extend" Alan Wake 2. There's no mention of another sequel, but given the gap between the first two games, that's not surprising at all.

This is to be expected, as it was only recently revealed to be going from a free-to-play release to a premium game, likely meaning that much of what had gone into the project so far will have to be changed. We'll have to wait and see if Remedy has anything else to reveal about Codename Kestrel at some point this year.

However, with two projects now entering full
