Epic Games and 505 Games will announce a new game as part of the upcoming The Game Awards 2022. A corresponding teaser website can already be found online. In the end, is it finally about the idea of Payday 3?
505 Games has a tweet on Twitter discontinued and indicates in this way a new announcement in cooperation with Epic Games at the Game Awards in the coming week. The live-action video has a QR code to offer, and following it will take you to a teaser website that takes up the Rockay City setting
If you call up the website, you will see a harbor and skyline at night; there is also a countdown that ticks down to December 8th – and then there will be clarity as to what this project is about.
The domain and the prompt “Visit Rockay City” suggest that it could be an open-world game where you can let off steam in said city. Due to the cooperation with Epic Games, at least a time-exclusive release in the Epic Games Store for the PC is conceivable; a corresponding logo of the store can also be found on the teaser image on the sailing boat.

While some fans are hoping for a sequel to Sleeping Dogs due to the close proximity in design, that’s unlikely. After all, Square Enix holds these rights – and they did not appear in the context of the teaser.
It is more likely that the mysterious project could be the long-awaited heist sequel Payday 3. 505 Games had published the predecessor and the latest action title is supposed to come onto the market in the new year 2023. Of course we will keep you up to date on this!
Payday is still 3 years away, but at E3 the makers not only commented on the franchise as a whole, but also gave a first small teaser regarding the new part.
