Take-Two Interactive has delivered the bad news that the much anticipated action shooter Max Payne 3 will no longer hit retailers in time for its original March 2012 release date, and has now been rescheduled for 15 May in North America and 18 May everywhere else.

"We do not take changes to our release schedule lightly, and this short delay will ensure that Max Payne3 delivers the highest quality, groundbreaking entertainment experience that is expected from our Company," said Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick. "Max Payne3promises 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."

This change also moves Max Payne 3 out of Take-Two’s fiscal fourth quarter 2012, now adding it to the already impressive line-up set for fiscal year 2013 - a release schedule including BioShock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Spec Ops: The Line, XCOM, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and more.
