Remedy Entertainment is headed back to its roots with a couple of remakes.

Remedy Entertainment shared on Wednesday that the studio has reached a new agreement with publisher Rockstar Games to remake the first two Max Payne games, Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne.

“We were thrilled when our long-time friends at Remedy approached us about remaking the original Max Payne games,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games “We are massive fans of the work the Remedy team has created over the years, and we can’t wait to play these new versions.”

The remakes of these two games will be using Remedy Entertainment’s proprietary Northlight Engine, the same technology that was used in Control and is powering the recently-announced Alan Wake 2. The development budget for the remakes is being handled by Rockstar Games, which will be the size of a “…typical Remedy AAA-game production.”

Much like Alan Wake 2, these remakes are coming exclusively to current-generation hardware, meaniing they’ll be available on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC and PS5. No PS4 or Xbox One versions will be available.
