If you're worried Remedy Entertainment will have trouble funding the Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake, don't. Apparently, Rockstar Games is fully funding the project, which will combine both games into one big title.
According to Remedy Entertainment's latest financial statement, Rockstar is helping to bring the first two installments of the Max Payne saga to the latest generation of gaming hardware.
Using Remedy's proprietary Northlight video game engine, the same one that it used to make Control and Alan Wake 2, the remake promises to deliver a cutting-edge gaming experience with little to no expenses spared. Rockstar's generous funding of the remake indicates its massive scope; it's clear that it wants to reintroduce the franchise, presumably as a prelude to a larger reboot.
Remedy is no stranger to receiving funding for its games. Epic Games Publishing put in a significant financial investment in Alan Wake 2 and other games that are part of the Remedy Connected Universe. Although Remedy hasn't profited from Alan Wake 2yet, the award-winning title did recoup a substantial portion of its development budget shortly after release. Thus, this sets high expectations for both the critical and commercial success of the Max Payne remake.
