Now Playing: Payday 3 Presentation | Koch Media Primetime 2021
“[Payday 3]’s coming along really well. I’m super excited about telling more about it, but we can’t at this point in time,” Sjögren said. “We haven’t released any other information [other] than we are actually releasing it in 2023, but we will and it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Starbreeze made a deal with Koch Media back in 2021 where Koch will pay €50 million ($59 million USD) to assist with the game’s development and marketing. The publisher made an announcement afterward stating that Payday 3 is “fully financed.”
The CEO also touched on the announcement of Starbreeze’s new UK studio, which is set to work on projects for two newly-acquired IPs, and Starbreeze is apparently “definitely looking at” the possibility of purchasing more IPs.
“I felt like there’s a good opportunity to connect more people from the great, really awesome UK development scene to Starbreeze and I think opening an office there will really help out,” he said.
Right now, we know that Payday 3 takes place “several” years after the events of Payday 2 in New York City. The sequel will once again feature the four main characters, Dallas, Hoxton, Chains, and Wolf, of whom Starbreeze shared concept art during the Payday 10th-anniversary stream in 2021.
