Those hoping for a closer look at Payday 3 should probably mark their calendars for this Friday at 12:00 p.m. However, don't look for the game to be ready in the near future, as it's currently targeted for a 2023 release. With the pandemic starting to subside in some parts of the world, Starbreeze has officially begun work on its third Payday game and has found a willing publisher with Koch Media's Prime Matter. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic kicked into high gear, devastating a vast majority of gaming projects. Starbreeze Studios had indicated it had wanted to begin work on Payday 3 all the way back in February 2020, noting that the developer was in search of a publisher. To hype up this announcement, Prime Matter released a lone screenshot, seen in the header above. Prime Matter's press release only notes that the next game will be set in a "Hollywood-like environment" and will center around the player's journey to joining the legendary Payday gang.


Yes, Payday 3 is on its way, albeit not anytime soon.įor the moment, there's very little information on Payday 3. Starbreeze's first game under the Prime Matter umbrella should be an exciting one to anyone who has followed a certain heisting franchise. Over a dozen game developers from around the world will be tied to Prime Matter and one of them is the team at Starbreeze Studios. On Thursday, Germany's Koch Media was excited to announce its new publishing label, Prime Matter.
