Max Payne 3 News: Today in heartbreak: Max Payne won't be visiting Sao Paulo until May 15, not March as previously reported.

Max Payne 3 will be delayed until May 15. Fans eager to test out the series' new multiplayer, and learn why Max shaved off that beautiful head of hair, will have to wait a little bit longer.

Until now, Rockstar Games had not yet given an exact day for Max Payne 3's release, merely saying УMarch.Ф With that month fast approaching, and a specific day still not set, it's not much of a surprise that the game has been pushed back.

Silver lining: a delay means even more time to pre-order; Rockstar has pushed back the pre-order cut off to April 2. With all the bonus content available to those who pre-order, fans who claim their copy now will be well rewarded.
