Remedy Reiterates Last Year’s Updates on the Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake

Following the departure of Remedy Entertainment’s long-standing leadership, a new era has begun at the studio—though it is being met with a degree of skepticism from the community. Taking the helm as the new CEO is Jean-Charles Gaudechon, a former Electronic Arts veteran. Gaudechon’s professional background, which includes extensive experience with microtransactions and betting-inspired mechanics within the mobile gaming sphere, has sparked significant apprehension among fans. There are growing concerns that the studio’s traditionally player-centric philosophy might shift toward more aggressive monetization strategies.

On a more cinematic note, the recent PlayStation State of Play served as the stage for the debut gameplay trailer of the studio’s next highly anticipated project: Control Resonant. This sequel to the 2019 supernatural hit promises to expand on the atmospheric and mind-bending world that defined the original title.
