Starbreeze Entertainment has unveiled the Payday 3 roadmap, detailing what’s ahead after the game’s release later this month. At the forefront of these plans are two new playable characters, Joy and Pearl. They will be joining the original Payday crew at launch.
Payday 3 Roadmap and Post-Launch Support:
“Pearl is an expert con artist and infiltrator who is as comfortable running scams on the street as she is rubbing elbows with the rich and famous. She leaves nothing to chance, and it’s a rare occasion when things don’t go her way. Make no mistake though, she plans for every contingency, even the rare occasions where she has to pull out her own weapons.”
“Joy is a genius hacker and security expert who is now an official part of the crew. As a merciless heister, Joy is a dangerous combination of strength and subterfuge. With no respect for the law and a twisted sense of humor, Joy is a wildcard character who ends up being an ace during any heist.”
In addition to the new playable characters, Starbreeze promises ‘high-level content’ for Payday 3 during its first year. This content will be spread across four DLCs, with one releasing every quarter. While, we do not have many details on their content, we do know their release timeline.
- DLC 1 – ‘Syntax Error’ set for Winter, 2023
- DLC 2 – ‘Boys in Blue’ is set to release in Spring, 2024
- DLC 3 – ‘The Land of the Free’ will release in Summer, 2024
- DLC 4 – ‘Fear and Greed’ set for Fall, 2024
However, players can look forward to an array of exciting additions including new weapons, enemies, cosmetics, seasonal content, and much more. When looking at Payday 3 roadmap, it seems clear that the developers aim to support the game for a long time, just as they did with Payday 2. We will certainly get new heists somewhere down the line.
Payday 3 launches September 21, 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It will also be available day one on Game Pass.
