Take-Two has announced that Max Payne 3 will no longer be released during the publisher’s fourth quarter which ends October 31, 2010.

Back in March the publisher warned that one of its key titles had the potential to slip and Max Payne 3 is that game.

Take-Two CEO Ben Feder explained the reason for the delay in an investor call last night: “While we do not take the movement of any title lightly, our recent success with Red Dead Redemption illustrates the importance and the benefit of giving a title the time it needs in order to fulfil its potential in the marketplace.”

He added: “The team at Rockstar is focused on making this the best experience in interactive entertainment.”

Max Payne 3’s slip out of fiscal 2010 leaves LA Noire, Mafia II and Sid Meier’s Civilization V as Take-Two fourth quarter releases.
