PayDay 3 Still in Design Phase

Work on PayDay 3 is still in progress; according to the latest entry on the franchise's Twitter account, it remains in design stage. The release date has not been revealed yet, but according to previous reports it should not take place before 2022.

Work on PayDay 3 is still ongoing.

PayDay 3 is a game that could take Starbreeze out of the financial hole. However, it won't do so soon, because according to the entry on the official Twitter account, the game remains in the design phase and awaits the announcement of release date. This confirms the previous information, according to which the third installment would not launch until 2022 or 2023. PayDay 3 will be powered by Unreal Engine.

Starbreeze can't really enjoy a peaceful life. The Swedish company has been suffering from financial problems for some time and just until recently it was close to bankruptcy. The blame for this can be placed on OVERKILL's The Walking Dead, whose release ended with a spectacular flop. Last December, the studio informed that it is already on the way out of its troubles. This is confirmed by the first payment, which 2 days ago went to some creditors. The question remains, will shifting all forces to the PayDay series translate into a success? Let us recall that the first mention of the third installment appeared in 2016.

At GRYOnline.pl, works in the Newsroom. He is not afraid to tackle various topics, although he prefers news about independent productions in the style of Disco Elysium. In his childhood, he wrote fantasy stories, played a lot on Pegasus, and then on a computer. He turned his passion into a profession as an editor of a gaming portal run with a friend, as well as a copywriter and advisor in a console store. He doesn't care for remakes and long-running series. Since childhood, he wanted to write a novel, although he is definitely better at creating characters than plot. That's probably why he fell in love with RPGs (paper and virtual). He was raised in the 90s, to which he would gladly return. Loves Tarantino movies, thanks to Mad Max and the first Fallout he lost himself in post-apo, and Berserk convinced him to dark fantasy. Today he tries his hand at e-commerce and marketing, while also supporting the Newsroom on weekends, which allows him to continue cultivating old passions.
