Looks like Payday 3 launches in September
Payday 3 looks set to arrive on 21st September, according to a new launch date which has leaked online.
The release date for Starbreeze's heist shooter sequel was spotted by Aggiornamenti Lumia, a Twitter account which regularly surfaces listings on the Microsoft Store before they are publicly visible.
It's interesting timing for a Payday 3 launch date to appear — just a day before Summer Games Fest 2023 kicks off in earnest with an announcement-filled livestream. Other events from Xbox, Ubisoft and Capcom are also set to follow in the coming days.
Payday 3 will be set in a «living, enormous representation» of New York City, Starbreeze said back in 2021.
Set several years after Payday 2, this follow-up will see the gang brought out of retirement in a changed world — one with «cryptocurrencies, mass surveillance and the Dark Web all playing a role».
It's been a long wait for Payday 3, after a decade of Payday 2 post-launch support and no shortage of trouble for Starbreeze itself.
Here's hoping we get this date locked down for definite as soon as possible.
