Now Playing: PAYDAY 3 — Official Gameplay Reveal Teaser Trailer

Payday 3 is a soft reboot for the franchise that takes place several years after Payday 2, featuring the original four characters of Dallas, Hoxton, Chains, and Wolf. It takes place in New York City and will feature new hazards and opportunities such as the dark web, cryptocurrency, and mass surveillance. Starbreeze boss Tobias Sjogren said in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz that he feels pressure to deliver with the sequel, especially given that the franchise has already reached 40 million people. Starbreeze's last game, Overkill's The Walking Dead, was a major disappointment, but Payday 3 has already been «fully financed» through a deal with Koch Media.

Starbreeze has confirmed that the game is identical on PC and consoles, and it's set for a release sometime in 2023.
