In their exploits, the gang has become as they call it the tightest crew ever. “And through all of this, the gang keeps coming out on top. “The gang has built a reputation by going after the highest-profile targets, setting up some of the craziest heist plans and going up against some of the most powerful enemies,” said Wonnevi. “Our evergrowing player community, our heisters, continue to be an inspiration in whatever we do, helping to make the best Payday possible.”Īs Erik Wonnevi, game director on Payday 3, put it, with the running narrative that spanned across the past decade to date, it’s not just Johnny Lawman looking to come after the crew. “Inspired by classic heist movies, providing adrenaline-fuelled gameplay where you get to experience the thrill of being on the wrong side of the law with a smart plan and a gun in your hand. “At Starbreeze, we see Payday as the ultimate bank-robbing experience,” said Starbreeze global brand manager Almir Listo. In a pre-E3 event attended by Play Diaries, Starbreeze didn’t show gameplay from the game (it is a long way out) as part of a presentation on the game, but rather emphasised what it wanted Payday 3 to be all about: the ultimate heist experience as your crew of four return and rob across America, including New York (one piece of concept art shown to journalists saw the crew overlook the Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge).
Starbreeze steps back from the brink with Payday 3 It is also a big statement of intent for the new Koch Media publishing label Prime Matter in terms of what it wants the label to be as its marquee game in its initial set of games it’s putting out the next few years. But it has done what it can to do to survive in the interim with the aforementioned reconstruction as well as new content and QOL updates for Payday 2.īut Payday 3 is now its biggest test to date since the reconstruction. The past two-and-a-half to three years for Starbreeze have, safe to say, not been fun. The Swedish company underwent a tumultuous time when it entered bankruptcy in 2018 as well as massive layoffs, selling publishing rights to the likes of System Shock 3 and Psychonauts 2 (pre-Microsoft acquisition of Double Fine) and even being raided by Swedish authorities before reconstructing itself and having a bit more solid ground to stand on. `By all regards, Payday 3 should be Starbreeze’s big return.
