With less than two weeks until the release of Payday 3 on September 21, developer Starbreeze Studios has revealed two new heisters alongside the game’s year one content.
The new heisters – Pearl and Joy – add a female presence to the gang, joining series stalwarts Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains on their escapade to rob New York dry.
According to the press release, Pearl is an expert con artist and infiltrator who is as comfortable running street cons as she is rubbing elbows with the rich and famous if it brings home the prize. She leaves nothing to chance, and it’s a rare occasion when things don’t go her way. But if the situation calls for it, she’s no stranger to firearms. And make no mistake; she’s a vicious fighter. Joy is a genius hacker and security expert. Merciless heister. Joy is a dangerous combination of both. She has a complete lack of respect for authority and a twisted sense of humour. But in a heist, she’s all aces.
Starbreeze also detailed what heisters can expect from the game’s first year, which will come to all platforms on the same day.
DLC 1 – Syntax Error set for Winter 2023 (ANZ Summer)
DLC 2 – Boys in Blue is set to release in Spring 2024 (ANZ Autumn)
DLC 3 – The Land of the Free will release in Summer 2024 (ANZ Winter)
DLC 4 – Fear and Greed set for Fall 2024 (ANZ Spring)
Pricing for the game’s season pass is not currently available, however the Gold Edition comes with the first year season pass and is priced at $146 on consoles and $135 on PC.
Payday 3 launches on September 21 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
