The oft-delayed title gets a bit more development time as Take Two has pushed back the title from its scheduled release in March to May.

The publisher may have made the move in order to gain another title in its 2013 fiscal year that starts April 1. Max Payne is the second Take Two title pushed back from a March release date after the XCOM FPS also moving into the next fiscal year.

That means for fiscal 2013 (ending March 31, 2014) Take-Two expects to launch: Max Payne 3, BioShock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Spec Ops: The Line, XCOM, XCOM: Enemy Unknown and “other titles yet to be announced.”

Curious to see that Grand Theft Auto V is conspicuously absent from that list. Looks like we may have to wait a little longer than previously thought for the title.

Are you disappointed by the slight delay of Max Payne 3?
