Starbreeze has announced that it has signed a co-publishing deal with Koch Media for the launch of upcoming co-op first-person shooter Payday 3.
The announcement is yet another sign that the Swedish publisher has managed to overcome the financial trouble it found itself in after the launch of Overkill’s The Walking Dead. Back in 2019, development on Payday 2 also resumed.
“We are excited to announce this exclusive long-term PAYDAY 3 co-publishing deal with Koch Media who shares our passion for the PAYDAY franchise and the ‘Games as a service’ model,” said Starbreeze Acting CEO Tobias Sjögren.
“In addition to securing the continued development, this deal secures global publishing of PAYDAY 3 as well as the marketing efforts through the entire game life cycle. We now have a strong foundation for a successful launch of PAYDAY 3.”
Payday 3 is currently slated to launch at some point in 2023 on both PC and consoles, post-launch content being planned “for long beyond the original release date.”
