One of the first significant videogame revelations of 2023 is the logo for Payday 3, which was shown in a preview clip on Overkill Software’s YouTube account. Along with the emblem, the Steam store webpage for Payday 3 has also been enabled for players to wishlist in preparation for the game’s launch in 2023.
Payday 2, the second installment of a trilogy that started with 2011’s Payday: The Heist, became an instant classic and is now a mainstay of the co-op shooting game genre. In the Payday games, gamers don the disguises of the robbery crew’s main characters, Houston, Dallas Hoxton, Chains, and Wolf, and live out their criminal fantasies. Payday 2 has been continuing strong for almost a decade thanks to a regular supply of downloadable content that challenges players to collaborate in planning and carrying out heists in a wide variety of settings, from stealing a local bank to robbing a casino in Las Vegas. Payday 3 was announced in 2016, so players have patiently awaited the sequel’s updates.
Payday 3’s logo is a basic and sleek monochrome style that does away with the red and blue colors from the previous iterations, as shown in a short reveal video dubbed “A New Criminal Dawn” posted by Overkill Software. The video begins with a wide shot of New York City, the setting for Payday 3, and then pans out to show the gang, presumably preparing their next heist, gazing out over the Brooklyn Bridge.
This is the year of Payday 3, the teaser proclaims, reiterating the 2023 release timeframe already established. In spite of the lack of a concrete release date announcement, the game’s webpage on the Steam store has been made available so that interested gamers may add it to their wishlists and monitor any developments.
We know very little about Payday 3, although it takes place in a futuristic New York and has a variety of new weapons and vehicles. Due to Payday 3’s emphasis on the present day, many new techniques and ideas, including cryptocurrencies and mass monitoring, may become available, which may have significant effects on criminal gameplay. A new arsenal of hacking gadgets and other handy equipment should provide some variety to the gameplay and allow gamers more freedom of choice during armed robberies.
To better capture New York’s size and complexity, Payday 3 will use the Unreal Engine rather than the Grin engine of prior titles. Payday 3 is among 2023’s most requested video games, and despite the fact that very little information about the gameplay has been released, it is expected to be very violent.
