Across years of updates and new missions,Payday 2ultimately escalated to such a ridiculous degree that the gangbroke into the White House to stole pre-signed Presidential pardons for themselves. It was good ridiculousness. NowPayday 3is on its way, and the cooperative heisting looks far more down-to-Earth in a new trailer fresh out of Gamescom.

I had always wished pals would get into Payday. You can treat it like aLeft 4 Dead-ish cooperative shooter with a crime theme (and it’s a lovely-feeling shooter!), but the real joy is in keeping the cops from being called at all. Dodging patrols, disabling security, finding alternate routes, and controlling skittish civilians is such a thrill when you pull off a clever heist. But without crimefriends, I’ve always been at the mercy of matchmaking or bots. Maybe this time, eh chums?

Payday 3 is due to launch on the 21st of September viaSteamandthe Epic Games Store, priced at £35/€40/$40. It’s also coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Xeriex XS.

I’m just glad to see this coming at all. For a while at the end of the last decade,Starbreeze were in serious financial trouble.
