Max Payne 3

is close to its release, so developer Rockstar Games has now revealed the launch trailer for the new third-person shooter, focusing squarely on Max and his troubled life.

Max Payne 3 is set to introduce a new chapter in the popular shooter series and we've already seen plenty of screenshots and videos up until now.

With the release of the game on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 taking place tomorrow, May 15, in North America, and on Friday, May 18, in Europe, Rockstar has now revealed the launch trailer.

As you can see above, Max is more troubled than ever and tries to escape his demons by moving to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Unfortunately for him, trouble follows and he's now caught in a bitter war on the streets of the city between street gangs and private military contractors.

Check out the trailer above and get ready for the launch of Max Payne this week for PS3 and Xbox 360, and on May 29/June 1 for the PC.
