Starbreeze Entertainment reveals that its new heist shooter will be set in New York and will star the original heists. On sale next September 18.

The developer Starbreeze Entertainment went through the Xbox Games Showcase to show a new gameplay of Payday 3 and confirm its release date: September 18 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X / S and computers. Not satisfied with the little glimpse they shared at the Microsoft event, those responsible have shared new details about this long-awaited cooperative heist shooter in a complete development diary that you can see under these lines:

As already known, Payday 3 will not be set in Washington DC like Payday 2, but in New York City. In addition, Starbreeze Entertainment has revealed that it will mean the return of the main cast of the first Payday, news that die-hard fans will appreciate.

Players can take hostages and trade them with the police to gain extra time during heists. On the other hand, it has been revealed that there will be a different phase between stealth and combat in which the alerted enemies will try to search for the players before starting to shoot left and right.

Is it worth playing Payday 2 first?

” Payday 2 ” is an especially recommended title if you are looking for a good cooperative action game. It is long, replayable and entertaining when played with friends. Also, despite being a continuous sequel, it maintains that touch that sets it apart from the rest of the competition’s titles. It does not eliminate certain errors, such as the generic nature of its shootings, its terrible AI or its discreet technical section. Still, it will certainly know how to have fun”, we concluded in our complete review.
