PAYDAY 3 now in production says Starbreeze

Starbreeze has posted their latest financials and there’s some good news for fans of the PAYDAY franchise waiting for PAYDAY 3.

An extra note was added the financial results page which confirms that development of PAYDAY 3 is now underway and is now in a “full design stage”.

“It is with great satisfaction that we also can announce that PAYDAY 3 production is officially initiated and at a full design stage. I’d like to especially clarify, that this project will enjoy as much time as we deem needed. It will be done when it’s done. This is our single most important brand today and the cornerstone of our business and we will treat it accordingly. Updates in the near future might be scares and far between. You simply don’t rush PAYDAY 3.”

Based on this comment, it sounds like the game will be some way off.  Starbreeze will be wanting to make sure they don’t rush this third game because the franchise has brought in a large chunk of change for Starbreeze and it’s their most prolific release.
