The official soundtrack of Rockstar Games‘ Max Payne 3 is getting a special edition featuring previously unreleased tunes.
The Anniversary Edition commemorates ten years since the introduction of the Rockstar game, and it will be available on music streaming services and limited-edition vinyl later this year.
The original soundtrack was composed by LA noise band HEALTH, who included the absolute banger TEARS.
When we began work on the Max Payne 3 score we could not have predicted the momentous effect it would have on the trajectory of our band and the music we make,” In a statement, the band noted: “Now, 10 years on, we are still as proud as ever to be part of the story.”
If you missed it ten years ago, Max Payne 3 finds our hero broken, addicted to painkillers, and working as a private security contractor in South America.
“Max is a very troubled character, he struggles a lot with drinking, his past, so the score had to capture the emotional, psychological aspect and the action of Max’s character,” Ivan Pavlovich – VP of Music for Rockstar Games, said in 2013. “The music for Max had to be dark, it had to be raw, and to be very identifiable.”
It’s an exciting time to be a fan of Max Payne. Following an agreement with Rockstar Games, Remedy Games revealed in April that it was working on a remake of Max Payne and Max Payne 2.
There’s no news on whether Max Payne 3 will be treated similarly, but here’s hoping.
