Things go from bad, to worse, to hell for Max Payne in the second official trailer for Max Payne 3, released today by Rockstar Games and shows just how Max’s newest job isn’t the escape from his past that he was hoping for.
The new trailer shows Max’s failure to protect his employer Rodrigo Branco’s wife, Fabiana, from kidnapping while trying to make a new life in São Paulo, Brazil. In his attempt to find and rescue Fabiana, Max winds up caught deep in a sea of violence and deception as street gangs, elite police units, and paramilitary forces fight for control of the city that makes New York seem like a fond memory.
