PAYDAY 3 Will Be "The Evolution of the PAYDAY Franchise"

PAYDAY 3 is probably one of the biggest releases this year. In an interview with VGC, the game's Lead Producer Andreas Hall-Penninger and Director Almir Listo revealed more details about the soon-to-launch shooter.

They were asked about the biggest changes in PAYDAY 3. The new game was described by Listo as "the evolution of the PAYDAY franchise." From improved stealth to better SWAT units, the gameplay experience is set to be smoother thanks to improved AI.

Listo said that the SWAT teams "care about civilians, so if you have a bunch of civilians around you, they won’t throw grenades". As for the civilians themselves, they "act in a much more human-like fashion now." He also mentioned that we will have "100 different skills" available to build characters in different ways.

In the interview, Hall-Penninger revealed that there are going to be "four different tutorials at launch for players who haven't played PAYDAY at all". One tutorial will be focused on combat, the next two will cover mask-off and mask-on stealth. And the last one will explain crowd control. Speaking about the difficulty of the game, Listo said that PAYDAY 3 is "not a horde shooter in the way PAYDAY 2 was" but is "much more refined."

Earlier, Starbreeze shared that PAYDAY 3 will support cross-play with all platforms. The game will arrive on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, and PC on September 21, 2023.
