Don’t act too surprised: Max Payne 3 delayed

Max Payne 3 is never coming out, confirmed! Well, not quite. But it was pushed back even further. We won’t be getting our hands on it until sometime after October 31, as Take-Two has moved this latest installment out of its fiscal 2010.

Depending on how long you’ve been actively following this industry, you may or may not see this move as a smart one — assuming you care about Max Payne 3 and want it to come out looking its best rather than coming out sooner.

Plus, there’s always L.A. Noire, Mafia II, and Sid Meier’s Civilization V to keep us company later this year in the absence of Max Payne 3. I plan on getting particularly close with that last one.
