Payday 3 (stylised as PAYDAY 3) is an upcoming first-person shooter game developed by Overkill Software and Starbreeze Studios and published by Prime Matter, as a sequel to Payday 2 from the same series. The game is set to be released in 2023.

Setting

The game will take place after the ending of Payday 2 where the heisters went separate ways and left their lives of crime, but something is to re-motivate the Payday Gang to continue crime.[1] The original crew of characters originating from Payday: The Heist ("Dallas", "Chains", "Wolf", and "Hoxton") will be in Payday 3, and the game will take place mainly in New York.[1][2] From teaser images, one of the missions will take place at the "Gold & Sharke Incorporated" bank.[2] Payday 3 will take place in the 2020s, intended to add more depth to the Payday Gang's crimes with game-changing differences like more advanced surveillance or the rise of cryptocurrency.[1][2]

Development

Publisher Starbreeze Studios announced in May svenkele that Payday 3 was in development at Overkill Software, after Starbreeze acquired the rights to the intellectual property for around US$30 million.[3] In March 2021, Koch Media committed to pay €50 million to assist in the game's development and marketing, including more than 18 months of post-launch support using the games as a service model.[4] Payday 3 will be developed using Unreal Engine.[2] The game is planned to release in 2023.[4] On December 31, a teaser trailer titled A New Criminal Dawn was released, revealing its logo.
