Take Two have announced a "new launch window" (a fancy way of wording delay) for the upcoming Max Payne 3. Instead of the previously proposed release in March, the game is now due out in May.

"We do not take changes to our release schedule lightly, and this short delay will ensure that Max Payne 3 delivers the highest quality, groundbreaking entertainment experience that is expected from our Company," said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two. "Max Payne 3 promises to be one of our most exciting releases to date, and we are confident that consumers will once again be amazed by Rockstar's ability to take interactive entertainment to another level.

"With Max Payne 3 now slated for May, our robust lineup of upcoming releases for fiscal 2013 is even stronger, including BioShock® Infinite, Borderlands 2, Spec Ops: The Line, XCOM, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and other titles yet to be announced for release that year. Fiscal 2013 is poised to be one of our best years ever, with anticipated substantial revenue growth and Non-GAAP Net Income of over $2.00 per share. We are well positioned to deliver growth and profitability over the long term."

No firm release date has been given to Max Payne 3, but hopefully the delay will pay off in a higher quality release.

Update:

Rockstar have now confirmed the exact release dates of Max Payne 3 with the console versions hitting Europe on May 18 (May 15 in North America). PC players will be forced to wait an additional two weeks (June 1) for their version of the game in Europe.

"Max Payne 3 brings powerful storytelling back to the action-shooter genre," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "Rockstar Studios are delivering a game that's both incredibly cinematic and very, very intense to play."
