Max Payne 3 has been delayed

Max Payne 3, the next installment in the series which was slated to be released in March have now been delayed till May.

CEO of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick said “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,”

Take Two’s fiscal 2013 lineup will include Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Spec Ops: The Line, XCOM, XCOM: Enemy Unknown and the recently delayed Max Payne 3.

Further details about the delay will be announced at a later time.
