The original player returns to their criminal life.
In its 10th anniversary release, Payday 3 developers Overkill gave the latest look at Payday 3. The brief overview shows off some concept art and talks about the inspiration and framework for the upcoming co-op heist shooter.
Payday 3 will take place in New York, a city that Starbreeze wants to be “living” and “enormous.” Payday 3 game director Erik Wonnevi said their goal is for the environments before the heists to feel like live, normal reality, then drastically changed as the chaos brought on by your crime spree. As an example, Wonnevi shared a couple of heist scene concept artworks, one before it started and one during.
The original four Payday characters are back; Dallas, Hoxton, Chains and Wolf are brought back from retirement and into a life of crime by old acquaintances. The heist world they found is now plagued by modern problems: The media can easily hide the gang and make their exploits sensational.
There are also all kinds of new gadgets to use in surveillance status, the dark web, and the ubiquitous smart technology. Wonnevi named tech giants and cryptocurrency as the hot button issues that will pop up in Payday 3's story.
Here are some quick character concepts.
