We haven’t heard of the upcoming Starbreeze game Payday 3 for a while, but during the celebration live, the developers revealed to us our expectations for the highly anticipated robbery shooting game that will be launched in 2023.
First, the game will be located in New York. Game director Erik Wonnevi described the city in the game as “a vivid and huge representative of this city.”
But things will not be like the last two games, or from the initial game, the gangs operate on a more underground basis.
“A game changer: the media is now reporting on the gang and their achievements…who knows what it might bring…” Starbreeze said (via Eurogamer).
The game will be played after the events of Payday 2, a few years after the champion’s prank, retiring from criminal activities.
But the world was different at that time. “At the same time, the world of payday has transitioned to the digital age, where software giants, cryptocurrencies, large-scale surveillance and the dark web all play a role in the new organization of the gang. Gadgets, challenges and opportunities.”
Due to undisclosed incidents, Dallas, Hoxton, Chains and Wolfe (the same team as the first game) were all forced to return to criminal life again.
The development of the game was officially launched in 2017, and a release window for 2022-2023 was provided in 2019. It can be said that this game has been developed for some time.
As early as March, we heard that “Payday 3” will be launched on game consoles and PCs in 2023 after a long and difficult development. Payday 3 was originally announced in 2016, and there was news that Overkill had transferred the rights to the payday series to Starbreeze.
