After thereasonably successfulSyntax ErrorDLC,Payday 3players can already look forward to a big new update that’s on the horizon. The aptly titledFear & GreedDLC represents the first half ofPayday 3‘s first anniversary content drop, and honestly, it’s looking mighty fine indeed.
Set and primed to release on September 16, the first half ofPayday 3‘s anniversary content update includes theFear & GreedDLC and a fancy batch of free goodies. The obvious highlight is the awesome new Overkill weapon: the M135 Minigun, but those who shell out for the DLC proper have a lot more to look forward to. To celebrate the occasion and get some hype going, Starbreeze has cooked up a brutal new gameplay trailer showing off the ins and outs ofFear & Greed. Or, at least,someof them.
Payday 3’s first anniversary is all about that Fear and Greed
The first part ofPayday 3‘s first anniversary update consists of theFear & GreedDLC and the free content update that’s coming to all owners of the base game. The paid DLC is likely to be priced at about $12, as its predecessors have been, and it’ll include:
The free batch of content is admittedly humble in comparison:
Part 2 ofPayday 3‘s anniversary, on the other hand, is slated for an October release, and it’s supposed to include a wealth of QoL improvements. Some examples include the server browser, proper in-game VOIP, and a reworked user interface. We’ll have to wait to see what comes of Part 2 proper, though, because the limelight is currently shining onto theFear & GreedDLC for the time being.
Obviously,Payday 3has had a rough timereaching the heights of its predecessor. Slowly but certainly, though,Starbreeze has successfully recuperated the game’s image, and theremaybe a brighter future ahead. The success ofFear & Greedis pivotal in this respect, asPayday 3does not currently have any future paid or free batches of content announced, and the community is unsure what’s going to happen with it next. For comparison,Payday 2enjoyed a full decade’s worth of active development, which its sequel never could’ve matched on day one.
