The highly-anticipated release of Payday 3 has been revealed by a prominent leaker, and it seems that the wait may soon be over for eager gamers. Known for its iconic heist-based first-person shooter games, the Payday series has gained a strong following among fans of games like GTA 5.
Payday was already focused on heists when it was first released in 2011, predating the popularity of heist-based games that would follow. Payday 2 is widely regarded as one of the most popular co-op shooters in gaming history, with fans eagerly awaiting the release of the upcoming sequel. In Payday 3, players will once again assume the roles of the Payday Gang, as they come out of retirement to take on a new series of daring heists. While the official announcement of Payday 3 was made several months ago, fans have only recently been given a possible release date to look forward to.
According to a recent Twitter leak by Aggiornamenti Lumia, Payday 3 may have a release date set for September 21, 2023. It remains unclear whether the release will be simultaneous across all platforms, including PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, as the developers have yet to make an official announcement. However, Aggiornamenti Lumia has a solid track record when it comes to leaks, having previously leaked information such as Immortals Fenyx Rising's addition to Xbox Game Pass and the release date for Lords of the Fallen. As such, this source is considered reputable and the leaked release date for Payday 3 is worth taking note of.
The upcoming game Payday 3 is set to take place in New York and will have a modern feel. Developers have discussed how advancements in security technology will affect the gameplay, offering a wide range of gadgets that players can use during heists. Additionally, players may have the opportunity to use their stolen money to purchase cryptocurrencies and obtain weapons on the black market without being detected by law enforcement. However, it remains to be seen whether these changes will make Payday 3 as popular as its predecessor, especially with more competition in the gaming industry. Payday 3 is scheduled to be released in 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
